Rejected petition: Mandatory installation Aircon on busses in London and south of the UK
Rejected on
The government should make all bus companies in London and south to instal Aircon, as it's a danger to passenger and the bus driver, exceeding 30 degrees Celsius Above these levels, the body struggles to cool itself, which can lead to life-threatening heat exhaustion or heatstroke.
Any enclosed bus, especially when parked in direct sunlight, can trap heat and quickly reach dangerous internal temperatures, often exceeding 40°C to 50°C (104°F to 122°F). For humans, a sustained ambient temperature of over 35°C to 40°C becomes unsafe, as the body struggles to cool itself, rapidly leading to heatstroke and dehydration.
