inertia of motion is the reason.
the passengers lower body is in contact with the floor of the bus and hence stops when the brakes are applied but the rest of the body is still in motin and hence moves forward in the direction of the motion.
inertia is the inherent property by virtue of which a body neither changes its present position nor tends to change it.
it is all stated in the law of inertia or newtons first law.

the passengers move in the forward direction when the brakes were applied due to inertia which is the tendency for a body to continue in its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by a force. so the brakes were applied to the bus and not to the passengers so while the bus came to a stop the passengers continued moving forward and as a result they fell forward. hope this answers your question

It's the law of inertia an object moving forward will continue to move forward unless other forces stop it. A bus and you are moving forward, the buss has brakes so it suddenly reduces speed, you don't so you keep going until your body muscles automatically hold you back.

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, those at rest tend to stay at rest. No one applied the brake to the passengers, so they still stayed in motion while the bus slowed and presumably stopped.

at the same time as the motor vehicle is shifting, the two the motor vehicle and the passengers are shifting on a similar speed. while the motor vehicle abruptly slows down, the passengers will nonetheless be shifting on a similar speed by using fact the motor vehicle grow to be doing, so will fall forward until some thing stops them (like seatbelts).

A body in motion tends to remain in motion unless some external force is applied to it. (Newton's First Law of Motion).
