Passing the "lift bus" while picking up passengers illegal?

I know that it's illegal to pass a school bus while it is picking up or dropping off students, but is it illegal to pass a public transportation "lift bus" while it is stopped and picking up or dropping off?

Passing MBTA bus

I hope not.  I'm pretty sure I've done it before.  I know the prohibition on passing school buses applies to any vehicle serving as a school bus, including vans.  But I'm not aware of any Massachusetts law prohibiting drivers from passing MBTA buses.  Why don't you try calling the MBTA and let us know what they say?  It could be interesting.
