What's the current issue of using the bus lane as a cycle lane? I found those to work brilliantly and feel very comfortable to take primary on without worried about left hook/pulling out.
One issue, although it's hardly unsolvable, is that bus lanes can get quite trashed in a way that bike lanes are unlikely to e.g., CS7
