The only time I've seen BTAM as scum push a scum mate is when his scum mate was a strong player who could hold their own in a confrontation and the plan they had was to clash early and often to create distance without actually needing to bus. Now I don't think BTAM would *never* bus because I'm sure if the game state etc called for it he would, but he wouldn't go to that as a defacto option if he could help it. I disagree with Hayumi's characterisation of his scum play there, I think it's way off the mark.
