Definition
客运 (kè yùn) refers to the service or industry of passenger transportation — the business of moving people, not the vehicles themselves. Contrast with 客车 (a bus or passenger train) and 客机 (a passenger plane), which are specific vehicles, and with 乘客/旅客, which are the people being transported. In Taiwan, 客运 also commonly means intercity bus service.
