Videotape on buses is a great idea. I had an incident in February where a bus pulled up next to me and, when I was about even with the rear door of the bus, veered across my traffic lane, nearly hitting me, to pick up passengers at the bus stop. Even though it was dark, it was particularly egregious because he knew I was there: he had to move left to go around me so he could cut me off at the bus stop.

I complained to the bus company as you did and received an almost identical reply: after reviewing the videotape, they clearly saw the incident, agreed with me, and said they reviewed with all their drivers proper safety for overtaking cyclists. Maybe they didn't do anything, but it was a nice letter and, if true, the videotape proved my point.

I gotta get a Contour for my bike.
