54C Outbound. Evening.
The bus is hot, steamy and crowded with passengers bundled for winter:

Bus Driver: Ladies and gentlemen, please: Stop informing me that the bus is hot. I know this. I am on the bus as well. So there is no reason to tell me that the bus is hot. I can not regulate the temperature, so please, if you would, just imagine that it’s 16 degrees below outside and you are so happy that you are on this nice warm bus. We gots to work with what we got here, people.
