Which Passenger Car gets me the bonus?

[Machete.Panda]

Its the Pullman 1900 Open Platform Coach? And how much is the Bonus? And is the Bonus for only the passengers in that railcar? Also, If the engine is in 'push' function and I have the coach on the 'front' the bonus still counts?

it's the observation car, the bonus is 20% and it's for all fares on your train. Also, it's only if the car is the last one on your train and is facing the right direction (the rear platform must not be connected to any other cars.) It doesn't matter whether the car is on the front or the rear so long as the platform is facing out.

Thanks. And I can have the train in a push function and still get the bonus? Meaning, engine at the back pushing and the platform coach at the front with the platform facing forward?

Yes, as long as you have nothing connected to the platform end of that car.
You can pull, push, shove, kick, dutch drop etc and you will still get the bonus.

One cool thing about the observation car, while in first person "controlling your guy" inside the car at the end you will find the lever to control the rear-facing light. Off-Dim-High

Easy way to remember how to connect your car is to make sure that light he mentions is always unobstructed and facing out. Between that and the 2 windows on either side of the rear door of the observation car, it kind of looks like a cab control car in a really distant sort of way if you use your imagination........So yes, push/pull operations get the bonus in both directions. That's the way I run. <SINGS> Cuz that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I liiike it, uh huh huh!!!!
