Just to follow this up - they're still too bloody hot and stuffy.
Yes, yesterday was exceptional, but I didn't get on one yesterday - I
have got on them in recent days and weeks when the weather has been
hot but also just unexceptionally warm.

A friend could only stand it for one stop on Tuesday. If there's a
choice, in warm weather I'll choose a route served by another type of
bus that has opening windows! The forced air circulation systems on
other types of bus seem to do a better job too.

They might look good from the outside (though I grant that's a
subjective opinion) - but they fail in a very basic way in terms of
offering a pleasant or even adequate environment for passengers. And
that's being kind - they offer a deeply unpleasant sauna in summer
months.

The bendy buses could get a bit too hot too - but not like this.

At least the Borisbuses don't catch fire!

The passengers just catch on fire instead!

(Modifications to the Citaro bendy buses sorted that problem out.)
