Why not catch the bus

Very close punishment pass by a bus, who had heaps of room to pass safely. I didn't have anywhere to go as the bus was squeezing me to the edge of the road as, there was a bus shelter with an un-mountable kerb then a fruit seller had set up steel signboards on the side of the road. Bus wheels are huge and terrifying when right next to your head. If I had stuck out my right little finger, I would have been able to touch the back of the bus at it's closest point. Reported to Transperth who said that they spoke to the driver about the incident. Took a few days to get my nerve back before I got back on the bike again.
