It sort of works. I used to bike down that street (Chestnut Street) and its one-way pair (Walnut Street), which has the same arrangement. The buses are pretty frequent and stop every block, so I often had to scoot around them. The lanes can also be used for right turns, so there are usually cars in them waiting to turn. Usually I get so frustrated that I just walk my bike for the last few blocks.

That said, it's better than riding down a street without a sort-of dedicated lane. And, unfortunately, it's often better than riding down a street with bike lanes, like Pine and Spruce, because people park in them with little or no enforcement from the police.
