Momentum.

Momentum is mass x velocity.

Velocity is speed in a direction.

Even if the bus changes direction, you still have momentum in the original direction until some force pushes you in another direction. That takes a moment in a car or bus, so until your momentum is that of the bus, you'll still be going in a slightly different direction, which happens to seem 'outwards'.

Why do passengers in a bus move to the right as the bus turns to left suddenly?

They don't really move to the right. Their mass keeps going straight ...that's what masses do until they're acted on by an external force.


Why do a person sitting in a bus moving in a curved path bends or leans sidewards?

Because of inertia. Simply put, the bus and yourself are travelling in the same direction, when the bus turns your body continues on the same path you were travelling initially. As the bus turns, because you and the bus are not rigidly fixed together and there is flexibility it takes a while for your body to 'catch up' with the new direction.

If you lost an item on a bus is it covered by my insurance?

If it was insured, then it is covered under you insurance, but it will depend on the policy. If you just purchased it and took a bus home, but left it on the bus or it was stolen, then it is lost - not covered. The best thing you can do is report it as a missing item to the public transportation department in case it turns up.
