The thing is, buses are 30x more important than most cars and should be prioritized as such, in the same way that emergency services are infinitely more important than every other vehicle. Buses are (morally)allowed to drive like aggressive twats and every other vehicle needs to get out of the way.

Unfortunately, some car drivers have missed the memo and think their time is more important than 30 other people's. Those are the people that should be shamed, not the poor underpaid bus driver that's trying their best to get a whole busload of passengers to work on time.
