1. Let the bus(es) and other vehicular traffic at the front go first, with their own unique signal. This minimizes risk of collision. OR
2. Let the bike(s) at the front go first, with their own unique signal. This also reduces risk of collision, but puts late-arriving cyclists at risk if they are wanton enough to run orange / red light. OR
3. Place bus stops before intersection, and install infrastructure that
A) allow bus drivers to request exit
B) controls other traffic smoothly to allow buses to exit.
