Why is it easier to balance on a plane than a bus, even though it is going at a faster speed?

This probably sounds stupid, but why is it easy to get up in a plane, and walk around as if you were on the ground. Then on a bus it’s harder even though the speed of the vehicle, is slower?

Because a plane is a constant speed, whereas a bus is braking, accelerating, etc.

As long as there’s no speed change, it feels like it’s not moving
