When a bus stops suddenly the passengers fall forward?
When the running bus stops suddenly, the passengers are jerked forward because due to inertia of motion the passengers tend to remain in their state of motion even though the bus has come to rest. Q.

And the bus stopped suddenly. I fell down. Because of Newton's Law of Inertia, which states: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
According to the law of inertia of motion, the body resists any kind of change in the state of its motion. When a man gets down from a moving bus his body has a speed equal to the speed of the bus and due to this speed, his body continues moving in the direction of the bus.
The correct answer is Inertia of the passengers. As the driver applies brakes, the bus comes to rest. While the passenger tries to maintain the inertia of motion. As a result, a forward force is exerted on him.
The energy of the bus has to go somewhere, and the momentum too, as they are independently conserved. Part of the energy goes to heat, in the brakes and on the contact ground/wheels. Heat means photons, so photons may take away some momentum. But most momentum through friction is transferred to the ground .
You are not allowed to load or unload in a bus stop and you should have sought an alternative place to load or unload your vehicle where the restrictions allow you to do so. You are therefore liable for the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
