Why is it that whenever it rains outside or even sometimes when it snows, yes SNOWS, the driver puts the air conditioning on FULL BLAST??? That is so uncomfortable and when I'm on a bus for over 30 minutes, I'm shivering!! Why must passengers be subjected to this nonsense? Don't the drivers feel it too??? One driver recently had this going on and he was wearing shorts with a short sleeve uniform shirt!! It was recently a rainy night, 62 degrees and I was shivering to death, lucky I didn't get sick!! What's the deal with this???:tdown::tdown::tdown::tdown::tdown:

Climate control must stay on for sanitary reasons (filters air). As far as the Temp it control all by computers. Operator can either have it on or off. Having it off can result in a violation.

i know with us on the new 1700 buses they have screwed the windows shut so you need to keep the air on and like you said we cant control temp at all. just a on and off switch..i must this new system they put in sucks its not a true climate control. i would like it better if it reached a certain temp and then shut off and then came back on automatic but it just stays on and the rear of the bus is like a meat locker.

 

people always say its cold i say sorry but i need to keep it on because when it rains the windows get so fogged up i need it on to help defrost those side windows.

the whole thing is retarded...it's downright uncomfortable...I still don't see why (if it's a violation to turn it off) that the air needs to be on so frigidly...it's crazy...do people sit like that at home when it's cold outside? The whole thing is stupid if you ask me. They say it's not sanitary and that may be true, I get the whole filter thing...but they need to do that on their own time. Clean the buses out somehow without compromising the health and comfort of the rider. After all, that's what it's all about.

And as for AC on the bus, there needs to be a better thermostat for different kinds of weather. One switch (on at 40 degrees and off at zero) doesn't cut it and is WAYYYYY outdated if you ask me.

I got pneumonia once (During SUMMER) because of the constant cold air. Spending 2 hours a day in a freezer with periods of oven (Summer heat) while waiting at bus stops isn't good. I bring a jacket almost everytime I have to take the bus now. It feels good for the first 5 minutes but after that I need to be next to a window blowing heat inside.

 

What's the usual temperature inside the buses with AC on blast?

IT's the way these buses are set up......even on the RTS, temperatures are set to reach 72 degrees whether hot or cold outside....so even if it's 62 degrees out, if the inside temp is about 72 degrees, the Cold air will blow. Now it's supposed to switch over once 72 degrees hit, but the whole system is so jacked up that most of the time it doesn't switch!
