I've had the infamous run in with a bus too. The first time was accidental, the bus driver did the same thing to me as the one in your story did to you. He got stuck at the next traffic light and I kind of game him "the look" (like thanks for almost hitting me). I beat him to the next light, which happened to have a construction barrier right next to the bike lane where normally cars would be parked. The bus driver purposely cut over and left me with maybe an inch between the bus and the construction barrier. Had I started to go when the light turned green, I'm sure I would have ended up either hitting the wall or getting hit by the bus. I think bus drivers have a tendency to be the most inconsiderate drivers on the road. I guess it's because they spend all their time driving the same route they begin to feel that they own those roads.
