Of course cycle lanes stop at bus stops! Are you suggesting that they
should continue through bus stops so that passengers alighting from the
bus step into the path of a cyclist?


In the Netherlands they normally run outside the bus stop, so the bus
crosses from the general traffic lane through the cycle lane into a
deeper bus stop. This requires more road space to implement, however,
and such space isn't really available in London.
