Here’s a news flash: fat people ride buses. Along with skinny people, slightly overweight people, right handed folks, lefties, communists, and members of the Clergy. But fat people, they ride the buses too, but in increasing numbers, according to the Federal government, but we’re not sure how many exactly, but it’s got to be like mass droves of the overweight stuffing themselves into the public transit system, jamming the seats, squashing children, hoovering down all the good available oxygen. Cue the outrage.
Or at least that’s the suggestion of this 19ActionNews story on how an uptick in belt-busters might force the RTA to limit the number of riders per trip.

I like to see them tell me my fat ass cant get on the bus. Gattica Gattica!!!!
That is hilarious, it’s no wonder Cleveland is consistently rated among the top 5 over weight cities in America. I’m guessing the recession hasn’t hurt the fast food industry here!
