If you can best a bus in a footrace, that bus route needs to be improved. As simple as that.

My rule of thumb is: taking a cycle should be slower than bus (when starting at the same time) but the waiting time should not make the bus slower.

Edited: wording

With all the stops, cycling is usually faster unless the route is uphill or you really don't have a lot of stops and probably need more.

How far apart are you stops? It'll they are too close, I can see this happen. ~5 minute walking?

Bus routes are not always straight, that may also contribute. But yeah, I think stops are 5–7 minutes by foot apart here
