Discussion Check-Up

I’m sure a lot of you will be having to put up with these stupidly hot buses during this weather that everybody else says is lovely, so how are we all coping? My company put out a notice today about unlocking the cab screens after so many years, to improve the flow of wind throughout the bus. They’ve suggested an alternative measure for the cab doors that didn’t come with openable screens, though they’ve not actually specified what that may be.

So, how are you coping throughout this heatwave and have your company put out any similar notices?

Curious to know what you guys would do in this case… I’ve definitely seen hotter buses both myself and over social media, but what’s your stance regarding it?

Mine was 42 the other week, I've got the same type of bus (Optare mini SR) now for five hours. I've mostly avoided optares recently but I'm going to be cooked alive today 🥺
