Definition
载客 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to carry passengers' — used for vehicles like buses, taxis, trains, and planes. The object (客) can split off the verb (载) when you add measure words or modifiers between them, like 载了二十个客 ('carried twenty passengers'). It's a formal term you'll see on signs, schedules, and official notices rather than in casual conversation.
v.o.
to carry passengers (of a vehicle)
