The missed traffic signal issue is the main reason that bus stops have been moved from near corners to far corners of most intersections,Not according to the TRB (Transportation Research Board). It's a safety feature. Consider a pedestrian at the corner, while a bus is still standing in the stop. For a near side stop, the pedestrian is passing in front of the bus. The bus obscures the view for any motorist passing the stopped bus or the pedestrian looking for oncoming traffic. For a far side stop, the pedestrian is passing the back of the bus. Both the pedestrian and any motorist have a clear view of one another. |
