What are transit passengers?

Transit passengers are people who move from one place to another using transport like buses, trains, or planes.

Imagine you're on a school trip, and your class is going from the school to the zoo. You all get on a bus together. The bus takes you there, that’s traveling. Now, when you get off the bus at the zoo, you’re not done yet; you might take another bus or walk to see the animals. Those people who ride one transport to go from one place to another are transit passengers.

Think of transit like a relay race. You're the first runner, you run part of the way, then pass the baton (or yourself) to the next transport. That next person is also a passenger, just on a different leg of the journey. They might be going from the zoo to the park or even home.

So, whether you’re riding a train to school, a bus to the mall, or a plane across the country, you're all part of the big transit system, and you're all passengers on your way!
