Every time I see this bus - I can't help but notice there is no glass in the windows - at least that's what it looks like to me. If that's the case then the passengers must get awfully wet when its raining or freeze during the winter.

If that's the case then the passengers must get awfully wet when its raining or freeze during the winter. Much like a street car, cable car, or trolley.... BTW, when the demise of trolleys in NYC, I believe Flushing (Queens) was the last borough to have a few.... my paternal grandmother, who had moved from Brooklyn to Flushing circa 1950/51, made sure she took her two grandchildren for a ride.... I can actually remember that day.... |

I rode the trolley regularly when I lived in Mexico City 1989-1991. We also have trolleys here in Ecuador in the capital city of Quito, so the ride continues!!!!!

I hear the Chiva buses in Ecuador and Columbia are a very friendly mode of transportation. In Cartegena, "Chiva buses chauffeur you for the night through historic neighborhoods while singing, dancing & imbibing with a local band all encouraged and enhanced with unlimited free rum"  |

Pain to close but in summer with no ac most times they are left open |

Maybe in Colombia? |

Ok, hanging my head now. I got to get with it!  Maybe I live too far away from the big cities. Our city is 90,000: Otavalo, sight of world-famous craft market! |

Pain to close but in summer with no ac most times they are left open Trains back then also had windows that slide down. I live near Strasburg RR in PA and they have a old steam engine with the old cars that they do rides and picnics in the summer. |
