The USA has very pedestrian hostile laws/infrastructure and buses definitionally stop and start where there are a lot of pedestrians (and many of them will be crossing the road in a rush because they saw a bus).
That data could be representitive of buses being big and heavy or it could be representitive of them sharing space with pedestrians.
Compare the same dataset for busses on a grade separated RBT with well paid/trained drivers and platform doors and you get a very different story.
