As far as I understand oneway=yes applies to all vehicles on wheels.
Therefore you have to do an exception for the cyclists and the buses.
cycleway=opposite_lane; psv=opposite_lane should do the trick. It
appears that in this case it hasn't been fully mapped.
If it is a highway=footway, then the oneway will apply to the
pedestrians. The same goes for highway=cycleway.
