A system and method for counting passengers in a road vehicle (10) comprises a vehicle server (160) within the vehicle (10). At the start of a journey, the vehicle server sends (210) local connection data for a local short-range network, e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth, to a public server (101). During the journey, one or more user terminals (112) request (220) and gets (224) the connection data, and can thereby submit (230) a digital passenger ID to the vehicle server (160). The passenger IDs are added to a passenger list (162). At the end of the journey, the vehicle server (160) counts the number of distinct passenger IDs in the, and submits (240) the passenger count to the public server (101). An alternative embodiment comprises an ID-card and USB cable instead of a short-range private network.
