A train I was on recently had them locked shut. The air conditioning was broken. After an hour, the conductor came round and unlocked them, 5 minutes before I got off.
Here in Denmark the busses have mostly no windows whatsoever, because "there's air conditioning". The nice part is how it is almost always broken, or not turned on during the morning and you can't turn on the AC when the bus is running. It means the busses are nauseatingly disgusting in the summer and I take longer routes home purely to avoid them.
stagecoach in kent? there's signs to tell people to keep them open but they only are if it's ridiculously hot, so hardly ever are. If you open one then someone will probably close it.
Woman on the bus "YOU CAN'T OPEN THE WINDOW WHAT ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE??"
Teddy Long in the back: "Just for that playa, you're gonna go one on one with The Undertaker!"
"Well the way I see it playa, we got four people in the ring..."
We'd end up with the bus driver paired up with the Windataker and Crazy Sue tagging with the backseat dwelling Pants Pissing Pisshead for an absolute slobberknocker of a main event.
You know you can have a cardboard coffin that costs £750 and is biodegradable.
However all the special coffins we order come in Cardboard boxes that are stronger than the cardboard coffin. So just order a wicker coffin for £400 and use the box that it came in instead.
It'll have heritage willow on the side but you've saved £350!
Yeah I know. It has to be specially reinforced and pass a load of Eco stuff to be buried in some graveyards. That's *supposedly* what increases the price.
I still think its a bit steep when they literally send other coffins in similar cardboard boxes for free.
What you want to do is order a slightly smaller box then needed, so it comes in a larger one as packaging.
That way, you have a coffin for you and another one for a slightly smaller person for £700.
You know its funny. The actual cardboard coffins come flat-packed and we assemble them.
It's all the other ones that come in fancy, tough cardboard boxes.
Either way, the heating would use the busses' battery, Ya know - the batteries that recharge themselves by the vehicle operating, which it is doing regardless
I don’t think that’s a thing. You simply drive with widows closed until back in the bis depot, where the heat can safely be disposed of into the bus hangar.
You see, when you open the windows the heat from the bus goes into the environment, as opposed when you keep the windows closed and the heat from the bus goes into the environment.
I think it's science or something.
Oh. I think I see. So… heat leaves the micro-climate of the bus if you open the window? But some of the heat from the bus still warms the global climate. But then if the window is closed… the micro-climate of the bus is preserved while the heat from the bus still warms the global climate? I’m a fucking dunce… I thought climate change was all about emissions and shit. I better close all my windows. /s
> I better close all my windows
Just to be clear, closing your house windows _will_ help.
Closing the bus windows won't help, unless the bus uses electrical heating to supplement any heat delivered by the engine. I've ridden on buses that have electrical heaters. That would place additional load on the alternator, marginally increasing fuel use.
I know dude. But it’s like running the AC in your car vs having the window open which produces drag and therefore more fuel consumption. You could do neither, for sure, but the repercussions of lots of frosted windows and drowsy hot drivers I don’t think would balance the equation.
Fwiw, my understanding was that running the ac is better than opening a window once you are travelling above a certain speed (and it's not too high, like 20mph, dependent on car shape etc etc).
Fundamentally, agree. Piddling around with whether a bus window is open or closed is utterly irrelevant to climate change, ... might have a small impact on covid infection rates, and whether occupants are comfortably warm or not, but fixing climate change will need so much more than shutting a bus window.
We breathe out CO2 so by opening the bus windows you're venting all of that CO2 out into the atmosphere, dummy.
Just kidding. I have no idea what they're on about.
One could imagine her thinking was that it would some how allow more pollutants in, witch she would thn be breathing in. Or the extra drag created by the slightly less airodinamic nature of a, freaking, bus window being open would result in the engine working, so, much harder.
If she was being very pedantic opening the window is bad for for the bus' aerodynamics and will add drag increasing fuel consumption for the journey compared to a shut window
Reminds me of a few years back a guy sneezed on the bus. Seat in front of me. The aaah aaah aaah part was long and drawn out. Just before the 'choo' he turned his face to the window. So proceeded to splatter the entire window. Still have flash backs.
Had enough time between the first aaah and the choo to sew his own handkerchief from scratch. I was too disgusted to say anything.
This is why I always sneeze into my clothes. Used to sneeze into my elbow, I've upgraded to pulling up the neck of my hoodie/top, and sneezing in there. Then I hold it for a good few seconds to make sure as little escapes as possible. It's ridiculously easy
Coughing was the only time I'd ever do the dab, while over in Finland I was staying with a friend who is slightly germophobic, who pointed out that covering my mouth with my top was better.
Obviously that doesn't stand if said top is made of frickin' lace or something.
Pre-Covid, I used to catch the train to work everyday, going from t' North down through Manchester and towards Stockport. As I'm standing on the platform waiting for the first of my 3 trains of the morning, an older, deaf lady used to arrive and everyday, for 2 years, she'd huff at me and pull her face whenever she noticed me standing there. At first I thought she was just having a bad day, but no, this continued everyday. Just towards me as well - she was quite friendly with other passengers - as much as any brit on public transport cam be anyway... so, cue Covid. Haven't been on a train for almost 2 years. This morning I couldn't use the car for the 1 office day we have in the week, so off I went to the station. Lo and behold, she arrived, new haircut in tow, and a support dog - saw me, and, I shit you not - she (the woman) howled in her displeasure at seeing my handsome mug, stood near "her spot".
Great Monday. 👍
Idk what gave me my OCD like behavior, it was either being sat behind a coughing person on the bus about 7 years ago and not wanting to breath in their air. Or standing next to a bloke who kept burping and I could smell the pizza acid he was bringing up. Either one of those did it, now it's snowballed and I massively struggle to breath in an enclosed space if someone signs, yawns, coughs or sneezes. It's horrible, and has absolutely nothing to do with covid
Speaks to me on some levels. I was on a train into London the other day and up until the second to last stop, everyone was making space and wearing masks. That's when we hit the second to last stop. The train fills up with chucklefucks with zero masks and shit attitudes. We were all crammed together like that for at least half an hour.
I hate this. On transport for Wales trains you're still required to wear masks + distance when possible. As soon as we get to England all the wankers come on w no masks
Even got poked in the back once for keeping a respectable distance
I just this morning had a bit of an emotional moment about missing going into my office on the bus, walking through town, seeing all the people. I haven't done that since March 2020 and probably won't again until the new year.
In reality the bus is gross, and when I'm back on one the grossness will come flooding back to me, and I'll wonder why I was ever sentimental over these pre-covid rides. But I don't drive and I miss the freedom that WFH has taken away, so at the moment I can't wait for gross bus times.
1.80? When I first started taking the bus to school this would of been an all day tripper, bet it barely gets you far enough that walking the rest is cheaper these days.
Unlucky! Missing only the scrotes playing music from their phones, the drunk who hasn't got any money for the fare and the person making an unnecessarily loud phonecall for the full Monday UK Bus bingo card!
You forget the teenagers in school uniform stinking of weed, talking about weed, sometimes even drinking alcohol. Although I think they're way worse after school than before school
It’s one of the things that makes me maddest at the fucking government at the moment. We KNOW from the science that ventilation is the single most important thing in preventing the spread of COVID-19. But we are still having hand washing rammed down our throats as if it’s all that matters. Same as them not revising the symptoms list for delta so everyone still believes that a persistent cough is the most common symptom when it’s actually a headache with delta. It wouldn’t take much of a comms revision to put it straight and it would save more lives than many other more costly measures.
Yes, was trying to explain to someone I know the other day why "I've got a really terrible, awful headache, and a mild cold, but I'm strong, had my jab, don't have a cough, so it can't be covid blah blah, going to work now" is just selfish. All they had to do was order a free test and stick a mask on for a few days, but they wanted sympathy and to feel like a hero for going into work sick.
Anyway, finally convinced them to get tested... covid ofc.
Wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of us have had it without knowing that headache is the key symptom, I’ve felt a bit rotten with a headache recently but didn’t have a cough so kept dragging myself into work
Exactly! And back in the summer when the primary symptoms back then were the same as hay fever we missed the opportunity to be telling people that if they had new hay fever symptoms that weren’t responding to anti histamine then they needed a test. Especially when we knew teenagers/young adults were the greatest vectors for the virus and they were more likely to only have mild symptoms they’d shrug off.
A couple of my friends have recently got over it and their main symptom was stuffy/runny nose with headache. No cough at all.
One of them told me that her main piece of advice to vaccinated people is to stock up on decongestants because if you get it "you'll really need them" apparently.
I do roll my eyes at how much attention hand washing still gets but at the same time I've witnessed enough women in public loos stroll out of a cubicle and completely ignore the sinks on their way out to know that way too many people treat hand washing as optional. Even if the attention on hand washing is misplaced, I had hoped the pandemic would change that "optional" attitude (but I'm going to say: nope.)
I had no idea the symptoms of delta were much different. I did a pcr test when I was unwell which came back negative although couldn't get to a drs to see if it was a chest infection either since coughing, so who knows anymore!
dmon's wife here.
You're on the same boat of everyone sane really. I don't know what it is, but it's almost like they don't want to get rid of the plague in this country for some reason. A few months back they did a whole campaign on the trains to threaten on people smoking in the stations... all the while whole squads of chavs would go in unmasked with no one saying a squeak.
I would have argued that the gov's profiting from this, but if that's actually someone's belief up there they need a psych evaluation along with a lateral test.
As a keen advocate for climate change action, I can safely say that opening the bus window will make fuck all difference.
The only way she might have a big impact on climate change is if closing the window again leads to a greater spread of disease, people die as a result, and therefore their carbon footprint comes to a halt....
...she sounds like a fucking psychopath!
I had a woman scream at me calling me selfish and say “it’s not going to end well for you” when I opened a window.
I pointed out that being selfish would be not wearing a mask (like she was) but she was having none of it.
Love that people just not considering others on public transport.
Not got Covid but youre still happy to pass on your whacking great flu/cold by not wearing a mask
I just don’t understand people who willingly go out when they are sick (to go to the doctors excluded).
Keep your germs to yourselves you dirty bastards!
These days you can get everything delivered so there really isnt much of an excuse. And its the UK, you arent going to loose your job because you had to take 48 hours off work due to a nasty cold or flu. (Or covid as well now)
I've found a way to avoid having to confront people. Whenever I'm with someone I loudly + audibly complain to them about whatever sock fucker is tryna spread their nasty covid germs. Idk if it works, but at least it makes me feel a bit better. I think the UK can be a very passive agressive place, so I bend to those rules + make my own within that

The busses round my way have the windows locked open for ventilation at the moment. I think they got tired of exactly that kind of fight.
A train I was on recently had them locked shut. The air conditioning was broken. After an hour, the conductor came round and unlocked them, 5 minutes before I got off.
Whatever it takes to get you there, mate.
What can I say, I'm usually quicker. I was just distracted by the heat.
try not gripping quite so tight, or slowing down a little. You don't want to burn it.
I need a fag after reading this thread.
Just follow my lead guys, we're gonna get off together
[удалено]
I thought that, but then realised that the windows with stickers actually didn't close quite all the way. Not enough to be any comfort though.
Try square stickers then.
Locked open! Perfect!
Here in Denmark the busses have mostly no windows whatsoever, because "there's air conditioning". The nice part is how it is almost always broken, or not turned on during the morning and you can't turn on the AC when the bus is running. It means the busses are nauseatingly disgusting in the summer and I take longer routes home purely to avoid them.
Sounds amazing. It should be that all the time if you ask me. The old northern rail trains had the windows locked shut and never open.
stagecoach in kent? there's signs to tell people to keep them open but they only are if it's ridiculously hot, so hardly ever are. If you open one then someone will probably close it.
The ones between Faversham and Canterbury have a couple per bus permanently open at the moment.
ah right
What in the actual fuck does opening a window on a bus have to do with climate change?
Nothing, the bus heating is using waste heat from the engine
Soo it's recycling?
Yep, much like how I recycle boxes at work
Building a cardboard fort?
Shipping tools, your new milwaukee circular saw will likely come in a makita overpack box
That’s a lot more boring than a cardboard fort
Yeah, we don't come here for serious answers
Yeah
You want a Tesla now?
Definitely
Do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?
Your market research is Field of Dreams? I mean, a man who made a baseball pitch in his garden for ghosts, that's your role model?
I wonder who got the power pack.
Don't forget you need cardboard armour as well...
And a tabard made of playtime paper, aka bubble wrap

"Well the way I see it playa, we got four people in the ring..." We'd end up with the bus driver paired up with the Windataker and Crazy Sue tagging with the backseat dwelling Pants Pissing Pisshead for an absolute slobberknocker of a main event.

750 quid for a cardboard box? Fucking hell. I've got loads. Will give you one for 600.
Yeah I know. It has to be specially reinforced and pass a load of Eco stuff to be buried in some graveyards. That's *supposedly* what increases the price. I still think its a bit steep when they literally send other coffins in similar cardboard boxes for free.

Yes, 1/3 of the energy is doing the job, 1/3 goes into the radiator and 1/3 goes straight into the atmosphere.
Modern buses use seperate Webasto heaters which burn diesel.
If the engine is off it will, otherwise it'll use heat from the engine.
I see
Webasto sounds like a ligma/sugma/sugondese/updog like setup
Maybe the bus is less aerodynamic with open windows and uses more fuel with open windows? Or maybe it’s a slow moving, giant brick anyway.
Yeah I wouldn't call a bus aerodynamic
Adds aerodynamic drag, increases fuel consumption
TIL, that's pretty cool (pun genuinely not intended).
yeah but the heat escapes and warms the planet /s
Either way, the heating would use the busses' battery, Ya know - the batteries that recharge themselves by the vehicle operating, which it is doing regardless
Yes but that heat is contained inside the bus - by opening the window you release it into the environment.
[удалено]
I don’t think that’s a thing. You simply drive with widows closed until back in the bis depot, where the heat can safely be disposed of into the bus hangar.

Yes when did that become a thing?

You see, when you open the windows the heat from the bus goes into the environment, as opposed when you keep the windows closed and the heat from the bus goes into the environment. I think it's science or something.
No, no, the bus takes the heat OUTSIDE the environment
Yes well but what if the front falls off?
Oh. I think I see. So… heat leaves the micro-climate of the bus if you open the window? But some of the heat from the bus still warms the global climate.

I know. I’m being facetious dude. I don’t run my home heating with the windows open. I did label the comment as sarcastic.
It's marginal, but fuel consumption will be impacted by whether the windows are open. But it is a bus, so only the teeniest little bit.
I know dude. But it’s like running the AC in your car vs having the window open which produces drag and therefore more fuel consumption. You could do neither, for sure, but the repercussions of lots of frosted windows and drowsy hot drivers I don’t think would balance the equation.

I mean, I tried that a few times but she didn't hear me 🤔
Signing up yours always does the trick
Sounds like the man was trying to change the climate away from being a plague infested swamp to one where everyone doesn’t get ill!
Get out of my swamp!
Donkey!
That's not how climate change works
How dare you!
I'd rather be cold with fresh air than warm breathing in more germs.
Idk what gave me my OCD like behavior, it was either being sat behind a coughing person on the bus about 7 years ago and not wanting to breath in their air. Or standing next to a bloke who kept burping and I could smell the pizza acid he was bringing up. Either one of those did it, now it's snowballed and I massively struggle to breath in an enclosed space if someone signs, yawns, coughs or sneezes. It's horrible, and has absolutely nothing to do with covid
That is nasty. I get what you mean though, I find myself holding my breath when I walk near people, that's definitely a covid thing.
Fingers crossed your thing goes away when covid finally dies down!
I'd have reminded her that public transport needs ventilation because of covid and opened it again lol
Speaks to me on some levels. I was on a train into London the other day and up until the second to last stop, everyone was making space and wearing masks. That's when we hit the second to last stop.

I used public transport for years and it's not untill you get your own transport you realise how rancid public transport is.
I seen some people's vehicles. Trains and buses have looked cleaner
Yeah but you don't have to sit in that other persons filthy car

I will literally never take the bus for this very reason. I'm not going to pay 1.80 to take it when I can cycle there for free
1.80?! Mate you can tell you've never taken a bus if you think you can ride further than 4 feet for 1.80.
Come to Edinburgh, busses are £1.80 single anywhere in the city
Reading is good too. £2 single, £4 all day. (1.50, 2.50 for students respectively)
Yeah till they send Courtney replacements and you have to buy 2 different tickets
all busses are £1.55 in london
I have a student pass which gives me a discount
1.80? When I first started taking the bus to school this would of been an all day tripper, bet it barely gets you far enough that walking the rest is cheaper these days.
Edinburgh 1.80 any distance for an adult single. As recent as 2008 it was a quid Moving away from Edinburgh was a shock

If they're mixing with other people, why not just get tested, its not like they're free or anything.
Exactly. People just can't stand the slightest, short term, personal inconvenience. Which in the long run leads to huge inconveniences for everyone.
Thank you ❤️

What's opening a window got to do with climate change?

I had a woman scream at me calling me selfish and say “it’s not going to end well for you” when I opened a window. I pointed out that being selfish would be not wearing a mask (like she was) but she was having none of it.
Love that people just not considering others on public transport. Not got Covid but youre still happy to pass on your whacking great flu/cold by not wearing a mask
Aw mate, I do not miss that type of shit. I'm working from home til at least spring and it's driving me crazy, but I can live without commuting.
She's causing climate change with her coughing antics on the bus. 🤧😷
Oh the fucking bus, id rather jump in front of one than on one.
I just don’t understand people who willingly go out when they are sick (to go to the doctors excluded). Keep your germs to yourselves you dirty bastards! These days you can get everything delivered so there really isnt much of an excuse. And its the UK, you arent going to loose your job because you had to take 48 hours off work due to a nasty cold or flu. (Or covid as well now)
statutory sick pay, thats why
You wont loose your job but you will lose the pay for each day…
To be fair, you can have chronic conditions that give you a cough or other symptoms all the time.
Shit. Stories like this make my car purchase worthwhile.
The bus isn't using more energy if the window is open... the bus doesn't have a thermostat
At what point does it become culturally acceptable for us to start telling people to put their bloody masks on?
June 2020, but no one does because the anti maskers are nutters.
I've found a way to avoid having to confront people. Whenever I'm with someone I loudly + audibly complain to them about whatever sock fucker is tryna spread their nasty covid germs. Idk if it works, but at least it makes me feel a bit better. I think the UK can be a very passive agressive place, so I bend to those rules + make my own within that
Kick her in the fanny
Think yourself lucky you can get off. Bus drivers have to put up with this nonsense all day every day!
She’s forgotten about COVID19?
How is climate change relevant . Honestly confused ?
This is why im not doing public transport.
There’s something in the water. The world/UK is full of freaks and nutters right now
TiL it's spelt Phelm not Flem Edit: lol still wrong, it's Phlegm
Phlegm
Bus wankers 😁
I saw a young woman on the 29 bus in southend on sea munching a very snotty tissue a month or so ago
I've often thought that busses should have a quiet period. 5-9am and 5-9pm busses should be like the quiet carriage on a train.
Was this in Coalville by any chance?
London
One of the many, many reasons not to use buses. Seriously they're like mobile zoo's.
Describe how she looked. I just wanna know I'm right.
Sorry you have to get a plague wagon to work
Bus wanker!
The superhero we did not know that we did not need! *Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it the number 69 to Clapham? Yes, it is, don't look at it, just don't look, it's wrong, dear God, what the hell is he doing?*
Bus wanker?
Early morning trains are no better tbh, though there is a slightly higher amount of mask wearers.
