I am a driver, seven years now, and I have driven for 4 days during over 100 degrees on a school bus and I have to quit, I feel faint and get spots in front of my eyes and told my boss, but no one to cover me, I am getting worried and we need help. fyi, my friend has an indoor thermometer on bus and it registered 117-118 degrees for over 2 hour trip,whether bus is moving or standing still for frequent stops. please help usAug 26th, 2011Someone from Chandler, AZ writes:
Unbelievable. What idiot would not require air conditioning on a school bus? The school won't let the kids outside when it's 110, but it's perfectly acceptable to shove them in a 140-degree oven for the ride home? Morons. Our government is filled with morons.REPORT COMMENTS

In the City of Tempe air conditioning is not required on school buses, regardless of the fact they often run when temperatures are well over 100 degrees. This is not safe for the drivers nor the students.REPORT COMMENTS

My son was treated for profuse sweating after nearly a one hour ride on a school bus home with no airconditioning. What a way to spend the first day of school. Also, a school bus caught fire on the first day here in Henry County GA. Thank God all of the students and dirver got off safely. This is a wake up call!REPORT COMMENTS

My children are overheating. It is hot and humid here in Joplin MO. My daughter is on medication and she gets overheated easily. I fear that she may have a heat stroke. The school will do nothing about this problem. I suppose air conditioning is not required and it needs to be, for the safety of children.REPORT COMMENTS
