So the busses are not actually any more affected than cars, there is just a lot more people on a bus. It is still an oddity to include things like bus driver salaries in the cost of the project.
I'd be okay with the city applying this same criterion to every piece of municipal infrastructure. Adding a transitway leg or diamond lane or bus-priority light to just about *any* area could be justified
