None of the pictures show people with coats on. My experience riding buses in South America was that operators run the AC on "freezing" for some reason. I never figured out why, but some said it was a competition for luxury where colder is seen as more luxurious, even though it's significantly below room temp. I didn't quite buy that explanation but I never heard a better one either.
- zhivota 7mo agoSame phenomenon in the Philippines. Always bring full coverage clothes for the ride.
- pseudocomposer 7mo agoI’ve only taken two buses in Brazil (Goiânia to Pirenópolis and back), and can definitely report that this was not the case there. It was incredibly hot and dry there until you hit the mountains, and the AC barely worked. Granted, I think this was one of the crappier bus lines, and they had a monopoly on this particular route.
