So...the TT's are ice cold in ice cold days and oven-baking in oven-baking days.
Translation:
The E40LFRs have NO temperature control whatsoever!!!!

LOL! This problem is just awful. When the TTs first came in, they were iceboxes in the summer. Everyone complained, so they were adjusted. Winter came, and everything was just too weak - the buses were too cold, so they made adjustments to make them warmer. Now the summer came in, and, surprise surprise, they are too hot!

If things were left alone, those TTs would be freezing cold. Oooh, wouldn't that feel great coming in from the outdoor sauna?

Now, can't we just get openable windows?

With regard to our fleet of New Flyer buses, how is the climate control in them? I'd say most of the ones I've ridden are fine.

So what is causing the New Flyer trackless systems to foul up? Are they that much different than the diesel or hybrid buses?

Not all of the diesel/hybrid buses were perfect. I rode 5737 and it was a pure oven. The inside temperature varied from the outside temp by less than 0.00000000000000000000000000001 degree. Wasn't much comfort. Most of the ZFers were pretty hot

The NEO artics, PCC-II's, and some new flyers have the worst heat in winters.
