Noun
/pæˈsɛn.dʒər ˈtɜrn.oʊ.vər/
"Passenger turnover" refers to the rate or process in which passengers leave and new passengers board a transportation mode, particularly in contexts such as airlines, trains, and buses. It is an important metric in the transportation and travel industries as it helps gauge the efficiency of operations, customer service, and overall demand.
In the English language, "passenger turnover" is often used in discussions about transport industry metrics, revenue management, and operational efficiency. The term is frequently used in both oral speech and written contexts, particularly in business reports and performance analyses.

(Авиакомпания сообщила о значительном увеличении пассажиропотока в этом квартале.)

The term "passenger turnover" is not widely featured in idiomatic expressions. However, related concepts in the transportation industry often include phrases like:

"High traffic"
This is often used in reference to the number of passengers at a given time, implying a busy operation.

The word "passenger" comes from the Old French "passager," which means "one who passes," derived from the verb "passer," meaning "to pass." "Turnover" is a compound of "turn," from Old English "turnian," meaning "to turn over," and "over," suggesting a complete cycle or return.
