I doubt it. Reduce both directions of car lanes by a couple of meters and suddenly you’ve got a bus lane. Alternatively if it’s narrower work it into a one way system and the lane that was the other direction becomes space for the bus lane.
Many of the roads in my city are already one lane. They were laid down at a time long before cars, and attempting to run dedicated bus lanes through various neighborhoods would come at the cost of pedestrian space or simply not be feasible in the first place.
Except cars have to deal with traffic whereas buses pretty much don’t.
What makes you think buses don’t have to deal with traffic while cars inherently do?
Bus lanes.
I guess my city is too old to have streets wide enough for dedicated bus lanes.

Special lanes and priorities! They’re a thing! Literally in the city next to mine (not necessary cus the town is small enough).
