So I was on a bus that had been parked for a while before pulling into the station. It was was quite hot out and the bus had been turned off so the inside was pretty hot as well, but the air conditioning was working and I could feel it cooling down. Apparently this wasn't good enough for one person who opened both of the front windows, the ones that have big "Air conditioned bus. Open window in emergency only" signs on them. So the bus is now going down the road blowing in hot air from two gaping holes, so surprise surprise the bus stayed hot despite the air conditioning while that person kept fanning themselves without realising they were the one that making the bus hot.

Also, no I didn't confront them about it because I was sitting somewhat in the back of the bus and definitely don't have the personality to potentially cause a scene on public transit. I've literally seen people get into screaming matches over the windows on transit and didn't need that in my day. I did close them on my way out because I rode to the end of the line though.

Yeah people don't grasp concepts, and think everything needs action, when inaction is sometimes the best choice.

i would have asked the driver during a stop to make an announcement that open windows defy air conditioning.
