Only a matter of time. Pedestrians lose their ability to see on North Street and will step out first, think about glancing about second. And then they'll blame the motorists/cyclists for being there. On the road, where they're meant to be.
I hope the people hit are not too badly hurt, and this incident reminds people to pay attention on the roads.
I'm not surprised. People are always running out in front of the buses because they can't be bothered to wait an extra few seconds for the road to be clear. Hope the people are alright though.
The speed they drive those buses up North Street is more than 20mph and some of the drivers like to play chicken with the pedestrians too - you try unloading from a side door of a van along there you take your life in your hands just looking out
