Summary
Greater Manchester’s scorching heatwave has turned Bee Network buses and trams into sweltering “glasshouses on wheels,” with drivers and passengers alike suffering through temperatures soaring past 40 degrees. Despite claims that newer electric buses and trams have AC, and older ones have fans and blinds, many still feel dangerously hot — leading to sickness, discomfort, and even deterring riders. Transport officials have relaxed uniform rules and urged drivers to take breaks, but admit extreme heat naturally raises cabin temps. While efforts are underway, riders are demanding better climate control to ensure safety and comfort as the heat continues to climb.
