A passenger table for connection to a side wall of a rail vehicle and for orientation in the transverse direction of the rail vehicle, includes a side wall pillar for connection to the side wall and a table panel supported by the side wall pillar. A horizontal support bar extends from the side wall pillar and, at a distance from the side wall pillar, is connected to the table panel by plastically deformable connection elements in such a manner that, when the plastically deformable connection elements are deformed, the support bar is movable in a horizontal plane relative to the table panel.
