Strange commute this morning. There were traffic jams in two different spots along my route in which cars apparently collided with city buses. The first collision was clearly the fault of the car driver, who apparently turned left in front of the bus. The second accident I didn't get to see up close enough but it seemed to involve a bus. However, I turned off that street to avoid the jam. I bring this up because it's rather discouraging. If drivers can't seem to avoid hitting buses, what hope to cyclists have?
