I’m proposing trying to bring the rules closer to what would have good consequences, which in this case combines with something that’s easier to enforce.
Authorities find “if you’re in the bus lane and you’re not a bus, punish” easier to enforce than your proposal which is just “do what you want in the bus line but don’t get caught delaying a bus”.
Also note in practice that speed limits, etc, are enforced that way. Most of the highway, most of the time, they are ignored.
I’m proposing that the only enforcement be that buses should have cameras which they use to automatically capture the license plates of anyone blocking a bus. Why do you think that is harder for authorities than a combination of automated bus enforcement and police occasionally pulling people over?

I think it’s harder for authorities write and pass the law you propose.
