This isn't really answering your question, but....
I was wondering what it is like cycling in bus lanes. I haven't needed to do this very often but when I do come across a bus I try to keep well away from it as I do with lorries.
I'm happy with it John, and the bus drivers seem happy also. That's probably partly due to the bus stops being very closely spaced in much of the area where I cycle, so they don't get up much speed between them anyway.
I've also got cases where there's a cycle lane between the bus lane on the left and other traffic lanes on the right. I know these scare the hell out of many cyclists, but I think as long as one stays cool they aren't a problem. Where those are they have to be used instead of the bus lane and bus drivers sometimes hang back rather than pass on the inside, but I always give them a left hand wave-through so as not to hold them up, being a firm believer in public transport priority over private road users.
The problem I see with motorcycles in the bus lane is the speeds some use in town, and I think there's plenty of possibilities of cyclist/motorcyclist collisions, especially since few cyclists have mirrors. Having been a lifelong motorcyclist myself, I know how suddenly 50/60 mph or more is available in quick throttle squirts between points, a dodgy mix with bikes doing 15 mph and less in a restricted lane width.
