Hold on, since when it's illegal to do so? that bus lane also allowed bicycle as well.
It's not a problem to use the bike lane, but you can't turn left from the lights at CS7/Princess St - all bikes are supposed to proceed straight over to Ontario Street. The really annoying bit is that since the only northbound traffic in that lane is buses, they could just re-phase the lights to have a safe pedestrian phase, then bikes, then buses. But no, gotta smooth the traffic flow...
