    11 people only ride the bus

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let A, B and C represents the event of walking, taking bus and taking a bicycle respectively.

    According to the question,

    n (A) = 153,

    n (B) = 137,

    n (C) = 137,

    n (A∩B) = 85,

    n (A∩C) = 67,

    n (B∩C) = 90,

    n (A ∩ B ∩ C) = 49,

    Hence, the number of people who only ride the bus = n (B) - n (A∩B) - n (B∩C) + n (A ∩ B ∩ C)

    = 137 - 85 - 90 + 49

    = 11
