A common carrier is one who represents to the public that his business is one of transporting persons or cargo from place to place for compensation, and such services are generally open to the public. Generally, commercial buses, ferries, trains, and airplanes are considered common carriers. There are some exceptions to this definition, such as, certain airplanes, vessels, "scenic railroads," or private charter transportation.
