My experience is that most bus drivers signal to pull back into traffic and then make sure that it is safe to exit the stop before proceeding. I have experienced a number of incidents where the driver signals and proceeds to enter the lane all at once as I have started to pass the stopped bus. I would also like to see buses that are stopped for an extended period of time turn their flashers on to indicate such. I have had a number of experiences where I slow down behind a stopped bus, anticipating that it is about to merge into traffic, only to discover that it is not proceeding immediately after dropping off or picking up.
