Go back in vehicle designed to take in others (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bogus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'designed to take in others' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'go back in vehicle' is the wordplay.
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'vehicle' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of vehicle).
'go' back-to-front is 'og'.
'og' going within 'bus' is 'BOGUS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bogus that I've seen before include "Phoney, not genuine" , "taking one for a ride?" , "Not true" , "Fraudulent, fake" , "Fake, phoney" .)
