Detailed Solution

A passenger gets into a public bus that stays at rest at a bus stop. The bus suddenly starts to move, and as a result, it pulls backward the passenger in the bus. This is due to the inertia of the rest of the body.
The passenger gets into the bus that was primarily resting. So as the passenger gets into the bus, the body of the passenger also remains in the state of rest. As the bus starts to move, the force due to the bus will also compel the passenger's body to move. But due to the law of inertia of rest, the body remains in a state of rest. This force is due to the bus's inbuilt movement on the passenger also, as a result of which the passenger moves backwards.
