London bus drivers are staging a furious backlash against the mayor after his promise to let them refuse to drive in dangerously hot cabs turned into a nightmare of broken promises and unbearable heat. Amid record-breaking summer temperatures, buses without working AC became death traps — some hotter than the Sahara — yet drivers were told they had no choice but to keep driving or risk service cuts. One driver, Antonia Pugh-Thomas, was even pressured to ignore the sweltering conditions after being misled into thinking “air cooling” meant something usable. She quit in protest — just one of many who’ve suffered under TfL’s misleading assurances. While officials claim they’re investigating and improving conditions, drivers say the disconnect between policy and practice is deadly.
