An interesting dynamic of public transportation has emerged in a story out of Charlotte. While this problem has long been known to those of us unfortunate enough to have had to ride the big yellow fellow to grade school, some Charlotte residents are finding out that bus riders have no say about the temperature inside their public transportation vehicle.

In a week where temperatures reached the high 90’s, bus drivers refused to cut on the air conditioning even when all the passengers pleaded.

So what do you think public transportation is?

A Democracy?
