as we have learned

Inertia is the property of a body by which it continues to remain in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless an external force acts on it.

So due to inertia of motion upper part of the body continues to be in motion in the forward direction while feet come to rest as soon as they touch the road.

hence when he is getting down from the moving bus, he falls forward.
