Then stop the barrier curb, with sensible signage to make it obvious. Let the bus cross the cycle path like they do everywhere else.
To be honest, that sounds a lot more dangerous to me. Cyclists who aren't looking for traffic in their own lane suddenly being directed out into the path of buses pulling in?
If you are going to have segregated lanes you have to go the whole way IMO. It's less dangerous to mix the bike and the pedestrians getting of the bus then to mix the bike and the bus itself.
Though like I said, I'm happy with the current shared road system myself.
