I can't wrap my head around how 26°C could possibly be the breakdown point. Air conditioners can usually lower the temperature around 10°C, so usually there isn't a problem until the outside temperature is so high that the AC can't get the enclosed space down to a safe temperature.

26°C is cool enough that they could just open all the windows. I'm kinda baffled.

~~The trains here specifically are bombardier talent 1s, but the company also operates lint 41s. Which means in both cases we get to blame the French/Alstom.~~ meant this as a reply to trompete.

What's even the point if an AC that doesn't work if it's warm outside? I think they are lying to Germans, hoping they all still don't know how ACs work.

Heat in a bus is so much worse than heat in a train. The smell, the vibrations. It's nauseating to me.

And why 26°C? That's nothing?

we here at random public transit provider believe in climate change and are on a green eco mission but not like to the point it costs money

I'm assuming the busses will have AC though

How does an AC actually fail at specifically 26 °C outside temp? I get that it might not keep up, but just fail? Also where did they get these ACs that would be useless anywhere in there world where ACs are common, who even would build such a thing?

I have comfortably worn an unzipped hoodie at 26C

When I have AC that is the temperature I set. Maybe even a little higher.
