I absolutely avoided riding the bus in my native city. If a place wasn't within a mile from a subway station then it might as well be in a different country because I'm not taking the bus there. The buses were always crowded and hot. Subway got crowded during rush hour, but at least there was good AC no matter where you stand.
We've only got busses. The climate control is usually pretty good though; decent AC in the summer and heated in winter. Just the occasional shitty driver that doesn't set it correctly.
Tbh the worst part is inconsolable crying babys. That's been pretty frequent this summer; but isn't usually a problem throughout the rest of the year. Otherwise people just keep to themselves, it's pretty peaceful.
