These wider chairs are nearly double the with of your average underground chair and can support 550lb......damn.
These new seats in Sao Paulo, Brazil are supposedly being ignored by the larger folk as they feel ashamed to sit in them. A sign above each seat shows a cartoon of a roly-poly passenger saying "Priority chair for obese people." "It may be that they don't want to think of themselves as fat or they resent being put in with pensioners and the disabled," said one manager.
A roly-poly person? Bahahahahahahaha this is just great.

If they "re-market" as mother and child seats, more people would use them, but would they then give them up for a more needy larger individual?

If your fat you should pay more TAX because you use more of every thing more space more food more gas and you create more crap to deal with.. So lets create a Fat Tax for all the fat phucks taking up more space........

Heheheh that's like the best laugh I've had all day.
In all seriousness though, there are so many better alternatives than this.

Seriously, who is going to sit down under a sign that says "Obese" and points to the seat. I've never understood why they don't just make seats without armrests and make it easier on everyone.

I love that the article says that the underground bosses are "baffled" that no one wants to sit on them.
