It sure does! That's why we need more rail-like bus designs, with physically separated lanes and dedicated signals. Buses shouldn't be driving in the same lanes as cyclists, and their routes shouldn't be designed to minimize turning, and when they do, it shouldn't be during a regular crosswalk cycle.

Oh, come on. This isn't even worth addressing, but if I must, please compare:

with:

I'm totally in favor of eradicating guns, though, which ought to help with the murder problem.
