The driver of which vehicle has the advantage in this situation?

Explanation

The bus driver. The blue sign on the right, with a bus symbol and an upward arrow, reserves the right-hand lane for public transport, and movement or stopping there by other vehicles is prohibited. Where the reserved lane is separated by a broken line, entry is allowed only in a few limited cases — to turn right, to enter a road, or to pick up and set down passengers at the right edge — and always on condition that public transport is not obstructed. That condition decides the question: when the bus and the car head for the lane at the same time, the bus has priority. The trap is the option claiming the car may not enter the lane at all; that is half true but too absolute — what is prohibited is travelling along the lane and obstructing the bus, not every entry into it.
