What is the minimum temperature buses must be heated to during customer service from October 15 to April 15?

During the period from October 15 to April 15, buses are required to maintain a minimum heating temperature for customer comfort and safety. The established standard for this minimum temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This regulation ensures that passengers are not exposed to excessively cold conditions while using public transportation, which is particularly important during the colder months when temperatures can drop significantly. Maintaining this temperature helps to promote passenger comfort and encourages the use of public transit during winter weather, aligning with the overall goal of providing reliable and safe transportation services.
