Bus-stop bypasses/Floating bus stops

Apologies if this is much discussed elsewhere, but I need some fairly urgent support.

Edinburgh is slowly bringing in some infrastructure that will necessitate bus-stop bypasses.  Some members of the local group of Living Streets Edinburgh, are very opposed to these.  I have tried to influence these discussions as best I can, but there is still some hostility and suggestions that we need to 'wait and see' how they work in London and elsewhere.  

It would help me a lot if I could be directed to info regarding - cities/countries with longstanding bus stop bypasses; cities/countries which have implemented them recently (New York?), and what you all regard as best practice design guidance so as to co-exist with vulnerable pedestrian groups. 

thanks

I photographed an example of a floating bus stop in Royal College Street Camden and found that a Google image search brings up many examples.

Thanks very much for the google image suggestion. Very interesting. I do wonder how many places in the UK have implemented or are implementing these.
