the bus drivers are generally not in rush unlike cars and have no reason to dangerously over take because they will soon be stopping at a stop soon enough.
No
By removing buslane it just makes a car so much faster then the bus.
It could make being in a bus as slow as being in a car, which I agree kinda sucks.
This encourages people back into cars.
Possible, but I don't think people really take the bus because it's the quick option, no? Although as above it kinda sucks if we are slowing buses down.

Bus lanes are relatively safe places for inexperienced cyclist, the bus drivers are generally not in rush unlike cars and have no reason to dangerously over take because they will soon be stopping at a stop soon enough.
By removing buslane it just makes a car so much faster then the bus. Buslane are being removed on uxbridge road to widen footpaths. This now means buses are no longer a fast choice at rush hour with a safe place for cyclists.
This encourages people back into cars. Totally the wrong direction imo all round busier road for all and a more horrible place for a cyclist experienced or not, to be in.
