You spot a friend on a bus while on your way to school. Why does your friend appear to be at rest even though the bus is moving?

Your friend appears to be at rest because they are moving at the same speed as the bus. When inside a moving vehicle, all passengers and objects inside the vehicle are also moving at the same speed as the vehicle, so they appear to be at rest relative to each other.

In a static frame, objects appear stationary, while in a moving frame, objects may appear to be moving even if they are stationary in the static frame.
