Firstly, I'm glad you are OK, things like this can scare the heck out of you. Don't let it stop you using public transport as it is a cheap and usually safe way of traveling.
That bus has steps at the front doors?
It looks like an older style bus. My company use modern Scania buses which have low floors at the front, I think our doors might be wider as well. I also noticed your bus has wheel chair access, which means it should have a low floor at the rear doors, that would still be easier to dismount with your bike that getting down those front steps.
Just adding, if you've made a complaint directly to the bus company they should inspect that rear door immediately.....we would.
