or -She is sitting on a bus. The majority of answers is that -in a bus- is the correct variant, implying that any verb can be used with the preposition In, like- she is reading in a train, etc.. But, lately I've seen in a book for upper-intermediate level students of English, the text, where the first sentence is- She was reading on a train. So, now I am totally bewildered, the authoritative source says one thing, the people of, I suppose, the English community say opposite. I am inclined to believe the book, but why people of , I guess, English -speaking countries say opposite. Please refer to the source of your answers knowledge!?
