May not be slow enough. I would suggest a longer shutter speed with rear flash (it flash at the end of the time). The result should be the lines with an in focus bus.
Had to examine this a few times. If I may offer a couple suggestions (in the event you have not submitted it yet)
This a dimensional photo that lacks dimension. The moving bus blends in well with the background, but it is middleground. Perhaps if you add just a "little" contrast to it, it may separate them.
Your Horizon line is Central, which is taboo to some. Bring it down if you can (crop)
Finally, I wonder if you can shoot a similar shot again from this locale.. This time, get down to the ground as close as you can (I surmise you are using a tripod). Your lens distortion shows you at eye level. A different angle will yield different results, perhaps stunning, or not so. I will think that by being lower, you can get more of the buildings and universe in, and it will present a different horizon, which you may like.
I like the motion you captured with the bus and after reading C and LJ's comment above I think he has some great suggestions to make this an even more exciting picture. I definitely would like to see a bit more contrast in it.
@cluvlj Thanks for this. It was actually hand held but I will try to get down lower although I don't like going down to ground level in the middle of a footpath as the last time I did it someone fell on top of me. I have just remembered there is a seat further along which might be more helpful which I will try later today. By contrast do you mean on Photoshop? Thanks - I will try it out.
@la_photographic I don't know if your camera has a setting for Rear flash. It is when you have a timed exposure, and you use the flash at the end of the exposure. It can present a forward or back streaking, with some detail of the subject. In other words, it provides the movement, but stops a part of it. Here is a link. Check out the one with the hand holding the playing card, as this is a great example. Unfortunately, I do not think your Fuji camera provides for this option. http://www.digital-photography-school.com/slow-sync-flash
Thanks for your comments - I will try to take this image again using the seat to get the camera lower (and it will be steady enough to use longer shutter speed). Hopefully it will not look too repetitive two days images being of a similar image.
@cluvlj Thanks for this. How much contrast as I generally don't use Photoshop or Microsoft Office Picture Manager for anything more than seeing my images so I can pick the image I want unless I am doing serious manipulation (like for the WWYD). Thanks.
Am thinking instead of doing another one today - when I have no access to photoshop I could do a shutter speed montage tomorrow with various fast & slow shutter speed images.
@la_photographic Rear flash or rear sync flash is when the flash fires last just before the shutter closes instead first when the shutter opens. At faster shutter speeds you may not notice any difference, but at slower shutter speeds, rear flash can help the creativity of the shot.

Thoughts?
Someone FELL on you? Wow.
