What the person is called? If a person gets on the bus what he should be called? Is the Bus Border correct word for the same? I am looking for the word but I can not find the actual and appropriate word for the person who gets on the bus. I'd be grateful of you If help me out in finding out the word. Thanks in advance!

A person who gets on a bus is a 'rider' or 'passenger'.

It's definitely not border. That means 'edge'. You could say bus boarder, and that would probably be understood, but it is not a common or standard phrase. It would be better to just say 'the person that gets on a bus', if you want to emphasise the fact of them physically getting on. Otherwise, as Joe said - the normal way to describe them is as a passenger or a rider.

Once you are on the bus, you are a passenger. However, if you want to specifically refer to passengers who are in the process of getting on the bus, you could use 'boarding passengers'. The opposite is 'disembarking passengers', or, sometimes, 'alighting passengers'. There could be a sign which says "Passengers who are boarding or disembarking are advised to exercise caution". Of course this is just a fancy way of saying - be careful when you get on and off the bus!
