When mounting a mob or minecart, the player will face south (+Z) rather than the direction either entities are facing. This appears related to MCPE-54715, however this occurs specifically when initially mounting.
Affects minecarts, horses, skeleton horses, pigs, llamas, donkeys, & mules; doesn't affect boats.
Notes: Doesn't occur if the player is already riding an entity and/or in third person view when mounting.

The game only makes you look to south when mounting if the following conditions are met
1. You don't ride another entity before mounting
2. You are in first person view

I've been having this problem for a few updates now.
I'm using Xbox One Bedrock version 1.14.2 now, Local Map, and still having every time I get into a minecart, I'm facing South.
Both in the Overworld, and the Nether.
It gets extremely confusing when you're trying to head North, and wind up where you started. (I have to jump out of my minecart a few times when being attacked by mobs, then when I place it back down, and hit forward, it takes me South again.)
Boarding Boats are normal.
Didn't the minecart used to be like that too, where you would board it still facing the same direction as you got on? Or did the minecart at least have 180 degrees to have a 50/50 chance of you facing the correct way; and then depending on where the player entered from, would decide which way you were already facing along the rails that it was sitting on?
Please fix this. I love Minecraft, and would like to use a lot more rails soon without getting dizzy or disoriented.
Thank you again.

When you fix this, please consider snapping to the nearest 180°, so that the player is orientated in-line with the direction the cart is going to move. It works that way when entering a boat.
I'd also like it if my look direction was adjusted when the minecart changes direction (just like the boat as well)

Also happens when adjusting your view (switching from first to third person front/back). If you're in normal third person (you can see your back) and switch to first person, it'll orient you South.

Magic Man That is a different bug, it is being tracked at MCPE-54715.
