Agreed to an extent, like people who buy houses near a football stadium then complain about the crowds. But I still think idling buses and coaches is a bit anti-social.

Has something changed in bus technology recently which prevents this problem? So far as I'm aware even bus company management now frown upon idling. What's different now which ensures that a bus will start again? And was it always so bad? I've neither seen nor heard a bus or coach turning over fruitlessly in the manner of my old Alfa 33 when there was a hint of damp in the air. Maybe because they're always idling I suppose......:-)

Dare I suggest warmer clothing, perhaps more layers? Sounds a bit like your comfort is put above that of those around you, in terms of noise and fumes.
Not having a go btw, please don't take my replies as argumentative. Just interested in your viewpoint.
