Have you noticed the bus getting more cramped?

It may not be that public transportation is being used more regularly by more people.  Apparently Americans are getting too fat.  The federal government is changing its policy on the number of people allowed on a public bus by adjusting the average weight from 150lbs to 175lbs.  New calculations are also being made adding more floor space to the average area each person is using.  These numbers are less than some other agencies already use, but this increase will affect the commuters' quality of life!  I don't need an extra quarter of a square foot, but I will gladly take it if that means the sweaty guy next to me is a tiny bit farther away.  I wonder if the seats are going to be redone to fit the larger sizes as well.  This also means we will be waiting longer for the bus because it cannot hold as many people.

On a lighter note, I think I will be borrowing some of this guy's dance moves, maybe if everyone did we could bring the average back down!
