Ventilation on the bus

Surely keeping the windows on the bus open during an outbreak is wiser than shut, especially when the woman behind you is coughing her guts up? AIBU to think that this is common sense?

YANBU! Are you on the same bus as me?! Grin

YANBU! OH gets the bus to work and the drivers have told everyone they are banned from shutting windows even if it means the bus is freezing.

I'm not sure how that would help?

All the droplets in the air from her coughing, aren't going to fly straight out the window.

I'm with you on this.

Even before CV, it really wound me up. So flipping unhygienic.

To all peeps who take the bus, open the windows please !

I've been thinking the same thing for the past two weeks.

Yes the windows should be open.

It DOES help.

I think I'd have to get up and move if someone coughed on the bus near me.

@Justwalkyourfineassoutthedoor oh I wish bus drivers would do that here!

@OhLook bus was busy but you have a point. Considering walking at least one way, I’m fortunate enough to work at a walkable distance of push comes to shove Confused

@LesLavandes I’ve felt exactly the same way even before. Not just for germs but smells! How it doesn’t bother more people is beyond me
