Known by several names such as "the tide", "greyshirts", "the greys", and several more colorful ones, passengers have no explicit purpose or responsibility on the station. As such, this is the most newbie friendly role in the game, allowing you to get acquainted with the controls and the various tools around the station without causing a massive catastrophe (hopefully). On the other hand, experienced players can use this role as a way to move around as they please without being tied down by assigned duties.

Passengers can be the most versatile characters in the game, the only things stopping you being game knowledge and means of getting around. Go to the arcade and play tetris all round. Get bored and go play the bar piano. Find some hacking tools and snoop around the station for goodies. Get chased by security for trespassing and give the [[Lawyer]] a reason to exist. Get bailed and immediately harass [[Head of Security]] for more station access. Get a job at the local botany instead.
Without any responsibility, passengers are a viable role to learn the game from as nobody depends on you for station functions. This also allows passengers time to pursue personal projects without neglecting duties from another job, although finding materials, permission, and access may be an issue.

Passengers are uniquely one of the only roles that have an infinite number of openings, so the role is always available. The [[Head of Personnel]] and the other Heads of Staff may also be looking for eager and somewhat trustworthy hands to work vacant positions in the station, so stopping by to ask if there are any jobs that need doing can also suffice to occupy your time if you find passenger life lackluster.
Just because you answer to everyone, it doesn't mean you're playing Slave Station 14 <s>unless you're into that</s>. What it means is that everyone has more authority when telling you to cut it out.

Too Much Time On My Hands

Without any responsibility, passengers are a viable role to learn the game from as nobody depends on you for station functions. This also allows passengers time to pursue personal projects without neglecting duties from another job, although finding materials, permission, and access may be an issue.

Passengers are uniquely one of the only roles that have an infinite number of openings, so the role is always available. The Head of Personnel and the other Heads of Staff may also be looking for eager and somewhat trustworthy hands to work vacant positions in the station, so stopping by to ask if there are any jobs that need doing can also suffice to occupy your time if you find passenger life lackluster.
