拒载 is a verb meaning 'to refuse to carry'—most commonly used in transportation contexts when drivers decline to pick up passengers or accept goods. The character 拒 means 'to refuse' or 'to reject', while 载 means 'to carry', 'to transport', or 'to load'. Together, they form a compound verb emphasizing an active, often policy-based or discretionary refusal of carriage service.

This term appears frequently in urban transportation regulations, ride-hailing app interfaces, and passenger complaints. It carries a slightly negative or formal connotation, implying the refusal violates expected service standards—especially when unreasoned (e.g., refusing short trips, passengers with luggage, or those heading to remote areas). While primarily used for people (passengers), it can also apply to cargo in logistics contexts, though less commonly in daily speech.
