I deal with the bus thing as well. To the point that I time my departure times as to best avoid the bus. (i.e. If I leave at 6:50am, no bus, at 6:55am too late). But timing isn't always practical. I either wait behind bus sucking fumes or pass it on left along with other traffic, like I did yesterday, a little hazardous, but fun )
