The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago, except it wasn't a taxi and it wasn't a bus stop. It also wasn't a cycle lane either. But I know that a) it fcuking hurt and b) I still have a 3" scar running from my shoulder to my armpit.
I was worried that it was all my fault, but the Police were totally on my side. In heavy traffic it's the complete responsibility of the vehicles' driver if the passenger decides to get out.
I take it you've got his details. Speak to the Police and go from there.
Oh, you didn't get his details. Whoops.
