"Nothing sucks more than being soaking wet and being stuck on somebody's bus with zero heat and most of the windows open. It's official winter and it can get quite cold. Even the vibe can get kind of dark and make everyone, not just myself, miserable."
"So thanks again to those who turn on the heat, and turn it on full blast if you keep the front two windows (or a hatch open)."
"You actually help me to enjoy my life rather than suffer it."
Bus/MAX drivers who run interior heating provide essential warmth and comfort to passengers during cold, wet winter conditions. Riding on a vehicle with no heat and most windows open leaves passengers soaked, cold, and stuck, worsening mood and physical discomfort. Winter's arrival can darken the atmosphere and make many riders feel miserable. Increasing the heat, especially when front windows or a hatch are open, restores warmth and improves passenger well‑being. Appreciation for drivers recognizes that their actions help riders enjoy life more rather than simply endure harsh conditions.
