You're definitely right.
With regard to this particular instance, based on my experiences in many cities in different countries, buses pulling out into traffic when they don't technically have the right of way is an expected behavior. :)
Unless I'm reading the report wrong, it appears that the bus did have the right of way. Indicating intent and hoping will get you in trouble with more than just busses.

Yeah, I was more trying to make an observation about general behavior of buses. When I read the article there was no mention of fault or reference to a report, so I didn't know. But I do know that buses disregarding right of way is fairly common. "With regard to this instance" was probably too strong/literal of a phrase to use to tie-in my observation.
You're definitely right.
