Are Our Backsides Getting Bigger?

Rain or shine, I still ride my bicycle to work, I hardly ever take buses or the MRT. But this is what I came across in the papers.

Read in the New York Times that their Transport Authority is reassessing the width of the seats on their public transport as their nation's citizens' backside size is ever increasing.

Wonder if LTA considers that since they are increasing the number of our buses & trains.
