But not a lot.
Once the taxi moves, the bus then moves forward twenty yards, in most cases.
But I do think that taxis should not be allowed to stop at bus stops, which
can prevent access or departure.
Not that there's a law in the world that will stop a taxi driver stopping
for a fare, even a fare stupid enough to flag down a taxi at a bus stop, and
make no move away from it.
And it would be totally unenforceable.

Whatever I might have thought, experience makes me prefer the taxi to
stop in the bus lane. It's less hazardous than people running across
the bus lane in front of my bike to reach a taxi.
