Take the center of the lane so they can’t squeeze you
Edit: not sure where you are and how responsive your local government is, but I might send this video to the transit agency responsible. In mast state in the US, there’s a minimum pass distance law – if your locale has something similar, show them this and they may actually do something about it.

😬 Buses and trucks I don’t mess around with. I would avoid this route, even if it means extending your bike commute.

No excuse for that. I would report that to the bus company.

Does the bus system have a website?
When a bus did that to me I went to the site and reported it & got an apology & the driver was chastened –> all our buses have cameras, so if you call something in they check them.

#1 you brake because getting pulled under a bus in the wrong doesn’t make you right.
#2 report the bus with the timestamp and identifying IDs to the transit agency
#3 Know that doing the right thing doesn’t mean people doing the wrong thing will stop. You can control yourself but not others especially around your safety.
