- In recent years, when purchasing rolling stock, the company relies on equipping the cabin and driver’s cab with air conditioning systems, Gololobov said. About 60% of the total base of land public transport is equipped with them. It is comfortable and comfortable for passengers. There are also regulations for the inclusion of heating equipment or air conditioning system, which begins to operate from May 1 to September 30. Its inclusion in the salons of the rolling stock occurs when the ambient air temperature reaches 20 degrees and above. After receiving a report from Belhydromet, we send it to the appropriate terminal. The driver who receives the temperature signal includes the operating mode of this system. After the end of the period from October to May, when the temperature drops to +2 ° C and below, the inclusion of heating equipment in the transport cabin is already envisaged. Somewhere to warm up, and from -5 ° C and below is the constant functioning of the heating system.

The driver on the control panel sets the required temperature, and it is automatically maintained. In Minsk, public transport stops are located on average every 400-500 meters. In summer, air conditioning reduces its efficiency when boarding and disembarking passengers. The same applies to the winter heating salon. Systems need time to recreate a comfortable temperature in public ground transport.
