In another and most probably my last chat with a bus conductor who they themselves cannot voice out their frustration with the crooked V (Victory Liner). I learned that there are two types of air conditioning system being used by the crooked V buses. One is the old system wherein buses have a separate engine for the air conditioning. The reason for such a system I assume is so that the bus main engine can deliver all of its horses in moving the bus. Two engines running at the same time result to high consumption of fuel and such is found mostly on old buses. The other system is dubbed as the “direct drive” air conditioning system. As the name implies, the bus engine gets to run the air conditioning system much like the ones found in cars. Supposed to be, this is a more wasteful system but only at the start of the engine. Due to advancements of engines (diesel), they are now the preferred choice resulting to lower fuel consumption. The new crooked V buses use this system, buses made by Hyundai.
So how did my last two weekends commute turned out? It was OK… comfortable. Unfortunately the crooked V hasn’t budge and the crooked policy is still on. Thank the Almighty for the rain that made the ride cool and comfortable.
This coming Saturday… Rain! Rain! Don’t go away!… come this weekend and not some other day!
