Wow, totally tired of getting on a bus that feels like a freaking deep freeze… Bus drivers – could you lay off the air conditioning a bit? You know, maybe turn it down to halfway between cool and deep freeze?? —Cherrybearry

Cold bus temperatures keep the Zombie Stroller Moms from getting too bitey, so STFU.
perhaps the driver wants to know if your just cold or really happy to see them http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/compl…
Nuh-uhhhhh! Nope! No way! Crank that bitch until you can see your breath. The colder, the better. OB has obviously never smelled a metro bus in 30 degree weather before. Gag! “Smells like carrots and throw-up. Oh! That could gag a maggot! Ugh! Smells like hot sick, arse and a dead carcass! Ugh! Even stink would say, that stinks!…” – Fat Bastard.
Plus, if you’re cold, YOU can always add a layer, (sweater, jacket, etc), but those of us who are naturally warm blooded to begin with, we can only legally take so many clothes off in public, sooo…
Oh, and..umm…what paingirl said! 🙂
I love AC, crank it up 😉

But then someone else would bitch that it is too hot in there. You can’t win them all,quit while you are ahead.
I was on a bus the other morning and a lady gets on and tells the driver to turn the A/C off. I guess she was speaking for everyone that muggy morning.
FUCK THAT SHIT. I am a god damn heater and all the terrible things about the bus are amplified when you’re hot and sticky :(. Well I guess that is what makes the bus so terrible in the first place.
I’m going to sound totally selfish here, but as a driver, I am not going to waste an opportunity to use the A/C when I get it. The AC/heat on buses have only 2 settings; on and off, so pick your poison. If someone asks me to turn off the AC and I know everyone else is enjoying it, I agree to do so until multiple windows open. Then it’s back to AC goodness.
Speaking of windows, opening the window above you will take the edge off it a bit. Just remember to shut it when you leave.

PDG, right on. Like the old song goes “you can’t please everybody so just please yourself”.
Rickey Nelson wrote it, but I like this version better.

I think you all mean you’re colder-blooded… in that you feel warmer in average temperature because you naturally run a little colder than most….
as do I. Got on a packed bus in the humid weather the other day with not a single window open… that was a fresh slice of sweaty, putrid hell.
I’ll take the AC and its initial, welcoming shock any day.
love the new avatar zedman
OP, rewire it…..A/C in the winter, heat in the summer. Would be funny to see those sweltering fucks melt off the bus in the summer in a heap.
Is that Ferdinand the Bull pg?
Anyway, give me AC. The colder the better. I sweat like a stuck pig for the most part. Twenty minutes into my workout at the gym, I’m soaked from head to toe with perspiration and they have AC.
I can’t imagine what a bus with all that body heat would be like without the AC.
If you’re that cold, OP, bring a fucking sweater.
yes it is the flower sniffing bull. i read that book when i was very young and i veered onto the course that i still run today
Tuck a sweater in your fanny pack you wussbag.
You get A/C on a public transit bus and complain? FUCK YOU!
Try doing a bus ride in Montreal with no A/C; the phrase “unwashed masses” never resonated so clear.
