Must the bus driver on the established route give way in this situation?

Explanation

He must give way — a route bus has no extra priority here. A public transport vehicle running a fixed route has no additional right of way at intersections; its only privilege is that within a built-up area others must give way when it pulls out from a marked stop. Outside that case the bus is subject to exactly the same order as anyone else: police officer, lights, priority signs, the tram's priority in equal conditions, then the right-hand rule. Travelling straight ahead is an advantage only against an oncoming vehicle that is turning left or making a U-turn, not against a vehicle coming from a major road or from your right.
