It is said pedestrians should walk at the side of the road against (and away from) vehicular traffic, so they would visually see the vehicle coming towards them and thus know if/when to walk more to the side, so as to avoid collision.

This way, both the driver and the pedestrian see each other. A safety precaution it would seem

Why should a driver of a vehicle yield the right-of-way to a transit vehicle traveling in the same direction that has signalled and is entering the traffic flow?

Actually, you got it backwards. The vehicle which is already in the traffic flow has right-of-way, and the vehicle entering is the give-way vehicle. If you're able to move over to allow them it, it would be nice, but you shouldn't disrupt the traffic flow in order to do this.
