Default Colossal temperatures on bus

So have you complained about this to the driver, or the bus

No.
Ah, so perhaps the reason is your forgetfulness/stupidity or
whatever in not doing anything about it.
Umm, I wasn't the one who posted on here complaining about it. I
merely posted my experience of what the complainant mentioned. Is
that allowed?
Sorry, didn't realise that you enjoyed the experience.

Maybe it's the experience of complaining that we know we won't enjoy...

This is true too, though Richard seems to have slunk off since I
questioned his incorrect assumption.

As someone else said, when he did complain, he got a shrug from the
driver and a "can't do anything about it".

I'm not really sure why there needs to be heating on buses at all; it
makes it way too hot in summer, and in winter everyone has their coats
and scarves on, and the number of people on the bus contributes to
warmth as well.

This is true up to a point. I'd rather be shivering than drenched in
sweat too. However, a couple of months ago (not mid-winter), I was at
Stratford about 5am and got on a 257 (?) that must have JUST come into
service. It was absolutely freezing - I don't know how the bus got quite
that cold - must have been a good 5 or 10 degrees below the outside
temperature.

And, no, I didn't go downstairs and ask to turn the heating on. Was far
too tired :-)
