The OP shared that the bus had stopped in a way that obstructed the pedestrian crossing, preventing others from crossing the road safely.
The photo accompanying the post showed that the bus had overshot the stop line by a fair bit, with the pedestrian signal totally obscured.
The bus also clearly obstructed the crossing lane, leaving no room for pedestrians to pass.
