If you are in a moving train or in a bus, what you observe is that the trees which are nearer to you move opposite to the direction of your motion. But the trees which are very far away from you, appear to be moving along with the direction of motion. Why it happens?

It's an optical illusion. The trees at all distances will move in a direction opposite your motion, but the nearer trees will appear to move faster than the ones farther away. If your eyes get used to the speed of the nearer trees, it may look like the farther ones are moving in the opposite direction.
