You might think they're created by the buses physically damaging the trees as they pass, but I suspect they're actually created by crown shyness, where trees naturally limit their growth so as not the clash with the branches of neighbouring trees. In this case, the trees infer the regular movement of the passing buses as an indication that they're getting too close to a neighbouring tree and, as a result, restrict their growth it that direction.
I love the rectangular shapes in the trees along Great Western Road in Glasgow, like the one in the foreground of this photo, which neatly match the profile of the local double-decker buses.

🌳✨ Les arbres timides existent
Le phénomène de "crown shyness" (timidité des ciîmes) intrigue les scientifiques depuis les années 1920 : les cimes des arbres s’arrêtent net… sans jamais se toucher 🍃
Par respect ? Pour mieux capter la lumière ? Le mystère reste entier.
