I believe they even installed cameras on select buses which enabled them to determine if a return-to-traffic signal was on, and to ticket the plates of cars who would continue to fail to yield to said bus.
I believe our buses have such a warning on the back. I think they were added when the law was changed. But of course it has little effect. It’s annoying because in principle bus bays are great — bus can pull out of traffic to load, then traffic lets it back in. But it requires cooperation, working together, which is apparently too much for some people. Ironic, because our roads are a huge example of cooperation: we all chip in via our taxes, and all then get to use them for free.
