Adapting Communication Styles

Adjusting speech to suit individual needs and preferences:

• Simplicity and Clarity: Avoid using complex language or jargon that may confuse passengers.
• Listening Skills: Actively listen to passengers' concerns and feedback to build trust.

Building Trust through Engagement

Establishing trust through attentive and respectful communication:

• Eye Contact: Maintain eye contact to demonstrate engagement and attentiveness.
• Non-Verbal Cues: Pay attention to body language and facial expressions to understand passengers' feelings.

Passenger Perspective

"Sitting next to a stranger in a strange car can be daunting, especially with limited mobility. It would be reassuring if the driver explained the journey, highlighted any vehicle quirks like firm brakes, and made me feel welcomed."
