There are still many unanswered questions around the safety of motorcyclists using bus lanes. Recent trials/studies from the UK and Tel Aviv help to paint the picture, yet there are still inconclusive results.
The safety question these trials are trying to determine is; are the safety advantages of motorcyclists being away from the general vehicular traffic greater than the increased risk of some specific crash types (like those shown in this video and others)?
In Melbourne there have been trials of motorcyclists in the bus lane but unfortunately no published evaluation results.
