I would explain active listening as making sure I understand what the passenger actually needs before I respond. That means paying attention, clarifying if necessary, and not rushing into an answer based on the first part of the conversation.

In a passenger-facing role, active listening matters because it helps people feel respected and it often saves time. If I understand the real issue the first time, I can respond more clearly and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.
