They certainly can be cavalier with the rules of the road. Whether they're have
a big effect on buses on oxford street I don't know. I suspect the main issue
is the sheer number of buses themselves. Far too many routes going down one
street.

Agreed there. The other aspect of the German approach is that there
are very rarely duplications of routes.

People happily change trains on the Tube, it's normal practice, even
though they have to walk far further than between two adjacent bus
stops when they do. If we packed in the archaic practice of
deprecating the changing of buses by charging a double fare when you
do, we could design a central London bus network that complemented the
Tube and was comprehensive and simple to understand.
