Why do you fall in the forward direction when a moving bus brakes to a stop and fall backwards when it accelerates from rest?

Explanation

In a moving bus, a passenger moves with the bus due to inertia of motion. As the driver applies barakes, the bus comes to rest. But, the passenger tries to maintain to inertial of motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him.
Similarly, the passenger tends to fall backwards when the bus accelerates from rest. This is because when the bus accelerates, the inertia of the passenger tends to oppose the forward motion of the bus. Hence, the passenger tends to fall backwards when the bus accelerates forward.
