That "only" rathers assumes that individuals should accept without
complaint the costs to them of providing a social good. I lived near a
bus stop many years ago. The effects extend way beyond access to
drives. The noise (both from passengers and from buses
stopping/starting), litter, damage to fences, and general low-level
anti-social behaviour can be significant. (And that was in days when
teenagers rarely knifed people who objected to their criminal damage.)
TfL may aim to minimise the effects but "not by my front yard" is
understandable.
