Additional details
Benefits of Air Conditioning on London Buses 1. Improved Passenger Health and Safety High temperatures inside buses can become unbearable, particularly during heatwaves. Elderly passengers, young children, pregnant women, and people with medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, or mobility issues are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. Air conditioning helps reduce the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.
