On a bus Home from city, a lovely sunset condition set an adequate lighting environment to allow a relative long exposure to capture movement in lighted condition.

Cool idea, but (in my opinion) this kind of shot needs to have a focal point that's actually in focus and still, so all the motion is pointing to something.
This is a very busy picture, I can see what you were trying to capture, the business of the urban life but it's just a little too busy for me. I understand where the blood in the title came from, I'm guessing all the red in the photo or just the flow of traffic but this really doesn't convey urban in an overall sense to me and just a bit too blurry for my taste.
the pulled zoom reminds me of the 'falling' shot in dreams & nightmares. there it was very effective in creating a surreal effect, but here I think it's jarring. it's one thing to have the cars moving but to have the entire landscape moving is very distracting.
