Spanish term or phrase: acompañante
From an Argentine death certificate:

Si fue accidente de transporte, indicar el tipo de vehículo y si el fallecido era peatón, conductor, acompañante, pasajero, etc.

What would be the difference between an "acompañante" and a "pasajero (passenger)"?

Reference information:
See google images for "front seat passenger".
The main issue would be distinguishing between passengers on public transport in the certificate in question, possibly by adding "PTV" (Public Transport Vehicle) or something like that.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...the effects of a front-seat passenger on driver attention
