This is due to the process of the inertia of motion.

Explanation:

  • When the  moving bus stops suddenly then the person who is sitting inside the bus is in a state of inertia. This is the inertia of the motion and as a result of this when the bus stops the person continuous moving in the forward direction and as a result of this he tends to fall in the forward direction.
  • The reverse occurs when the bus starts suddenly and the person is inertia of rest and hence he is left behind as compared to the rest of the bus and hence he falls in the backward direction.

The passengers in a bus tend to fall backward when it starts suddenly due to inertia as the passengers tend to remain in the state of rest while the bus starts to move. When the bus stops suddenly, people fall forward because their inertia as they are in state of motion even when the bus has come to rest.
