The passenger wants to stay in a straight line, he/she experiences inertia.
An object will move in a circular fashion if there is a force that pulls it toward the inside.

All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.
gravity
The planets orbit because of gravity and their momentum. They are constantly flying away from the sun, but at the same time are being pulled toward it by gravity. The end result is that they stay moving in a circular motion around the sun.
Centrifugal
An object will move in a circular fashion if there is a force that pulls it toward the inside.
Centripetal force is the force toward the center of a circular path. It is often confused with centrifugal force, which is the force away from the center.

They aren't. They are pulled towards the center of the earth, as are all objects on the surface of the earth.
When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle due to the centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is necessary to keep the object moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.
