Although in favour of speeding up buses, I wonder whether it might
better serve the interests of both bus users and motorists to introduce a
rule which makes it compulsory to let buses leaving a bus stop pull out.
Unfortunately I suspect the problem would be enforcement - on-bus
cameras might be an option, but they're expensive and it's another thing
for the driver to worry about.

I thought this already was the rule?
