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.

But where there is space that is sometimes done in the UK.
