VC.isHidden = true not working as expected

I have a Viewcontroller ThirdViewControllerPassenger which has multiple subviews on it, including a UICollectionView called collectionViewwith horizontally scrolling Cards. So far, so good. I have written code to be executed from a tap action from inside the uicollectionviewcells. Tapping the action does work and prints to console. However, by pressing one of these cards I want to hide the whole UICollectionView. I have set up an onTap Function as shown here:

@objc func onTap(_ gesture: UIGestureRecognizer) {
    if (gesture.state == .ended) {
        /* action */
        if favCoordinate.latitude == 1.0 && favCoordinate.longitude == 1.0 {
            //There has been an error OR the User has pressed the new Address button
            
            //do
        }else{
            ThirdViewControllerPassenger().collectionView.isHidden = true
            if ThirdViewControllerPassenger().collectionView.isHidden == true {
                print("done!")
            }
        }
    }
}

As you can see, I have already been troubleshooting a bit. I have tested ThirdViewControllerPassenger().collectionView.isHidden = true from ThirdViewControllerPassenger directly, which worked. It does not work, however, from a cell. The "done!" print never gets printed to console, so the call never arrives. I wonder why or what I am doing wrong. Don't mind the first if statement, that function is not written yet. That should not matter. I am guessing that the rest of my code would not lead to any more clues.

Every ThirdViewControllerPassenger() here

ThirdViewControllerPassenger().collectionView.isHidden = true
if ThirdViewControllerPassenger().collectionView.isHidden == true {
  print("done!")
}

is a new instance not the real one , you need to get access to the real shown istance

delegate.collectionView.isHidden = true
if delegate.collectionView.isHidden == true {
   print("done!")
}
