Bike+bus collision danger can be largely mitigated with protected bike lanes and intersections. Also in practice, the extent to which buses can go faster than bikes is limited. There's a route I take to the local Ubahn Station, and in practice biking is about as fast as the bus, assuming the same starting time. Obviously the bus has a higher top speed, but it also has to stop every couple blocks, which eliminates its advantage. For BRT, probably a different story, but if it has a completely separate lane infrastructure, you can just have the same for bikes.
