“…Da Silva et al (2006) performed a survey on a total of 28 pre-arranged subjects on a bus and examined, through artificial neural analysis, how these subjects' thermal sensations were affected by the physical environment. Shek and Chan (2008), conducting a survey on buses in Hong Kong, found that both the level of air quality and the level of thermal satisfaction affected passengers' assessment of the thermal environment in the buses. They found passengers on non-air-conditioned buses were relatively more concerned with air quality than those on air-conditioned buses.…”

“…Facilities and features inside the bus are in good and operational condition (e.g., comfortable seats with enough foot space, comfortable temperature, clean floor, ceiling, bus handles and stop request buttons with comfortable height). (Andaleeb et al, 2007;Shek and Chan, 2008) 2. Bus is well-equipped with priority seats for the elderly, pregnant women, and disabled people.…”

“…Thermal comfort can be defined as that condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment [30] . The reference to 'mind' indicates that it is essentially a subjective term; however, there has been extensive research in this area and a number of indices exist which can be used to assess environments for thermal comfort [7,15] . Atmaca [11] suggested three conditions for comfort; these are that the body is in heat balance and that the mean skin temperature and sweat rate are within limits required for comfort.…”

“…Workplace environmental conditions, such as humidity, indoor air quality and acoustics have significant relationships with workers' satisfaction and performance [2,8,16] . Indoors air quality could have a direct impact on health problems and leads to uncomfortable workplace environments [15,28,35] .…”
