Today was 60 degrees in Chicago, and it is amazing. The perfect crisp fall day. Until I got on the bus for work.
The problem with the changing of the seasons is that no one really knows how to properly use the heater in the fall. The bus had the heater blasting FOR NO GOOD REASON. At 60 degrees it is unnecessary to have the heat on at all, as anyone who is particularly chilly can put on a light jacket or even a cashmere wrap. (I also don't like it when people wear gloves when they are not warranted.)
I sincerely hope that the CTA adjusts its temperature response systems soon, because it is inappropriate to ruin a perfect day with a bus heater.
Thank you for your post. Your analysis is just what the city needs! Rock on!
