Not when car volume is several orders of magnitude higher than bus volume. Bus passengers are subsidizing car drivers.

Busses and trucks damage roads up to 30,000 (yes 30k) more than cars. Cars absolutely subsidise all roads.

And btw neither buses nor trucks nor cars have some constitutional right of way.
