• Quite often they do this because they either didn't notice the passenger wanting to get on till it look late also the passenger pressing the STOP button too late, it's quite likely they didn't do it out of malice.

    Best thing to do really is to really prevent the bus from overtaking when approaching the bus stop.

    I counter that by saying it should be bus driver 101 not to overtake cyclists when approaching bustops. Chances are you will have to stop and swerve accross the path of the cyclist, force into the center of the road and endanger him from traffic coming behind the bus

    The worst occurance happened on a downhill slope, I was going very fast, bus comes round me, immediately pulls in, I had to swerve violently to avoid slamming into the back of him and could have easily been t-boned if there had been cars coming from behind. There was even a wide cycle-lane which I was in. The road is very wide although only one lane and there is a central reservation, meaning I couldn't have taken the lane anyway and the cars drive fast through it.
