Well actually, all you need is some decent ventilation. Why on
earth don't people design buses with air vents at the front?
Also, in hot weather, why can't buses be driven with front doors
open? Is there an interlock that prevents this? I was on a
single decker in Brentford on
a very hot day recently, and the driver kept the front door open
all the time; it was wonderful to feel a flow of air for once.

For a long time all of the Eastern Coachworks bodies had vents at
the front of both upper and lower decks. With a front entrance this
is not possible downstairs.

Perhaps they should talk to car manufacturers, who have found it
possible to fit front air vents on vehicles with front entrances for the
last 50 years or so.
