I'm a multi-modal commuter. I ride my bike from home to the bus stop, put the bike on the bus, and ride about 30 miles to another city for work. There, I get off and ride my bike to the office. The bus drivers that drive the bus I'm on are always courteous. In the two towns (home town and work town), the city bus drivers always give me room. Heck, I usually wave at them and they usually wave back. In my home town, one of the city bus drivers is an AVID bike rider. He can be seen on a long tailed cargo bike or a commuter bike with an IGH and belt drive. And he's done a little bit of bike touring. Nothing wrong with bus drivers that I've encountered.
