Really, just think about it, it doesn't make sense: everyone is already dressed for being outside, they have already walked to and stood at the bus stop, they could quite comfortably manage exactly the same temperature inside the bus without feeling cold.
On top of that lots of bodies crammed together in a small space, all of which are, essentially at 37 degrees C means that there is a pretty large temperature differential between out and in anyway!
While I'm sure those in control of public transport think that it is logical to put heating on in winter it doesn't actually make and sense and just leads to a rather uncomfortable environment.
Sorry, rather petty rant there

More than likely, the heat is put on by the driver for his/her own comfort. They tend not to be dressed as warmly as their passengers, and they get a blast of cold air every time the door is opened to let passenger on or off. Perhaps part of their uniform should be long underwear, and gloves.
