Haven't seen any stats on collisions in bike lanes, but anecdotally, this would seem to make sense.
Giving the bus absolute priority over everything was something the TfL, under Ken, was very keen to do. Unfortunately, TfL do not have the last word on trunk roads. National government does, and they weren't quite so keen to make the bus king.
The national government is clearly a victim of 20th century thinking. They will never ever meet their own sustainability targets if they are unwilling to make such changes.
