passenger
Let an agent explain the passenger as a category, relay rights, safety and statistics from transport law and industry sources, describe kinds such as hitchhikers and free passengers, and distinguish passengers from crew, drivers, freight and the aggregate measure of ridership.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the passenger as a category, relay rights, safety and statistics from transport law and industry sources, describe kinds such as hitchhikers and free passengers, and distinguish passengers from crew, drivers, freight and the aggregate measure of ridership.
A person travelling in a vehicle, vessel or aircraft who is not operating it, from airline and ship passengers to front seat passengers in cars, hitchhikers who obtain free rides and passengers travelling free or at reduced fares, and, in aggregate, transit ridership; passengers have rights and duties under transport law and are counted in transport statistics.
What it is for: Not applicable; a person category.
It can be explain the category; relay rights and safety; describe kinds; distinguish related terms.
