Except cars have to deal with traffic whereas buses pretty much don't.

What makes you think buses don't have to deal with traffic while cars inherently do?

Special lanes and priorities! They're a thing! Literally in the city next to mine (not necessary cus the town is small enough).

I guess my city is too old to have streets wide enough for dedicated bus lanes.

I doubt it. Reduce both directions of car lanes by a couple of meters and suddenly you've got a bus lane. Alternatively if it's narrower work it into a one way system and the lane that was the other direction becomes space for the bus lane.
