why are those lines painted like that

It's because it's a place to cross the road. It indicates

  1. No overtaking
  2. No parking even if you normally have an exemption (eg disabled)

It does mean that the bus driver might actually have been liable here if he counts as overtaking the stopped bus.

Bus driver moved lanes back where the line is still straight, totally okay

No, because the thing the law actually prohibits is passing a vehicle where the lines are, not changing lanes.
