Mind you, this was in brooklyn, the buses in the city are much more courteous and always let me pass before they take off from their bus stop.
Yield to buses. Most of the drivers aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer. You might be right in your interpretation of the rules of the road, but 43,000 plus pounds of mass is not something to argue with.
