Question:

What types of vehicles are considered "common carriers?"

Answer:

California law applies an extremely broad definition to "common carriers." This is beneficial for injured persons, as, common carriers are required to use the "highest duty of care" in transporting passengers safely from one place to another. California courts have held that "common carriers include buses, taxis, trains, LRV's, ferries, airplanes and even certain amusement park rides.
