Why London buses turn on the air conditioner in the freezing winter and turn it off during the melting heat?

[-]

Do they even have air con?

[-]

Most don’t. Most double deckers have forced air ventilation aka poor man’s aircon but it doesn’t really condition the air.

It simply lacks the horsepower to cool a bus full of passengers on a hot day, it'll be on, but ineffective.

Its not like the Pacer trains up North where the engine cooling is inside the passenger compartment

[-]

Then why they turn it on in freezing cold weather? It should be off right?

[-]

The cold air you are feeling is just the weather.

[-]

Just to p*ss you off.

[-]

Because the drivers despise humanity

[-]

Oh, the huge manatee.

On a lot of buses it's too small to cool a bus load of passengers on a very hot day so it feels like it's not working.
