  2. Question: For other agencies running 30-foot buses - do you still have a passenger limit? What is it? How are you addressing full loads?

  3. Question: For cutaway buses, is it safer to transport with all the windows open?

    Hello,
    We are a little city here in California and use cutaway buses for our fixed route and paratransit services. A question has arisen. Is it safer for bus operators to drive with all the passenger windows open? We do have limited seating to keep up with social distancing. One thing that we have found though is that with all the window's being open and it being summer, the bus does not really stay cool. Thank you for your time.
