In Sydney, the public transport trains refer to all of their passengers as "customers" as well.

Every single time I am referred to by that name over the PA it weirds me out. Maybe if this was a private system, but for public transport? Customer is just the wrong word.

When I was in jail they referred to me as a "client" which I thought was rather odd.

If you paid money for your trip, you're a customer.
