Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The public transit company that i use to comute to work for a 55 minutes each way uses blue bird buses. the transit company is yuba-sutter transit based in marysville, ca. the newer blue bird buses lack appropriate ventilation. today, it was approximately 100 degrees, and the air conditioning/ventilation system failed to cool the buses interior. this is an ongoing problem, and the temperature inside the buses gets extremely hot. the passengers and driver ride in this heat for the better part of an hour. i am concerned that this poses a health threat to passengers ,and it may well inhibit the driver's ability to drive safety due to possible dehydration, heat-induced fatiuge and the impact of prolenged heat exposure to the driver's ability to focus properly. the blue bird company should be require to retrofit the buses to provide air cooling and ventilation.*ak
