The trains in question are from the 80s. A/C started being used on transit here only about 15 years ago or so, and it's still far from everywhere (even for new vehicles). Somehow the people in charge of buying the rolling stock doesn't think it gets warm & sunny up here. It does. The focus has been more on heating than cooling, so the heating usually works at least.
Yeah, skirts are considered more professional. By the people making the uniform decisions . A simple skirt does have cleaner lines than almost all shorts, so it makes some kind of sense. But mostly it's about up-tight bosses who don't get that not everyone works in a nice office with A/C, IMO.
