Just came thru Pendleton today. I was looking for all the spots where there isn't a wide shoulder. There are only about 5 of them, and the longest one is about 200 yards. Most of them are less than 50 yards. This means that if the bus driver could have waited a maximum of 30 seconds, there would have been no need to pass them. I would definitely call that negligence.
