sfa, I do want to add that our neighborhood takes our time at the bus stop. Sometimes there is 1 or 2 cars waiting behind and I honestly don't give it a second thought. What we love about our neighborhood is that it is kid-friendly. The bus driver cares about our kids and will often say something to a parent at the stop. It is our only chance to communicate with him (imagine all the stops he has).

Again I think it is all about perspective. I do believe in being thoughtful of others, but when it comes to the bus stop, I honestly don't give it a thought at all. All that matters to me at that moment is that my kids are home (safe) and that all the kids get off the bus and to their homes safely.

You make a good point that we cyclists slow drivers down and that safety is #1
