Railway crossings by buses are about to get a lot more common, and it is yet another thing that makes buses act differently than cars in traffic.
I'm in favour of buses being permitted to cross with the usual car-level of caution for signal-bearing crossings at the very least.
As for pedestrians, their life isn't hard enough in the region? :)
Traffic signals are too dumb to do anything as smart as delaying the change to amber based on an oncoming transit vehicle. Our infrastructure as a whole is too dumb for something even that simple.
