If a fat man is forced to pay double seat (because of his girth) on a plane, Why not do the same for taxi rides and busses.

This is bullshit. For one no matter weather your skinny or fat the seats are not comfortable for anyone unless your a child. They already try to squeeze as many people into the plain as possible. If he was riding first class they would not charge him for two seats. Its all about the money. I don't think any of this is right and yes I do fit into one seat. Not everyone is the same size. When the industry makes billions of dollars they can afford to let someone take up 2 seats. I beat you they did not give him double of everything either like drinks and so on. Go figure. If company's did not do stuff like this maybe they would be making more money. Some people can not loose weight and it should not matter anyways. People need to grow up with their comments. For those of you that are skinny and judging others see what happens to your kids or someone you know, what goes around comes around.

I do agree with the airlines in making the man pay for another seat, along with coach busses. If I pay for a seat, I expect to have the seat all to myself, not have the person next to me put the arm rest up and taking 10 inches of my seat, forcing the other arm rest into the side of my stomach. I agree with any business that has assigned seating to charge a person extra due to their girth.

Taxi just charges for miles that is why. I think that making them pay double for a train or taxi is mean.

Yes, file a law suit... WTF, if you don't like it loose weight. Not only is this occupant taking up double the space of a thin person, they are twice as heavy. Think about a fireman rescuing you from a stuck elevator... You should be charged double, cut down on the McDonald's....

I AM OVERWEIGHT , AND I NEVER HAD A ISSUE OF TAKING UP TWO SEATS INSTEAD OF ONE SEAT , PLUS I HOLD MY WEIGHT PRETTY GOOD! BUT , YEAH I THINK , HAVING ALOT OF WEIGHT WILL CAUSE YOU , TO TAKE UP MORE THAN ONE SEAT THATS IF YOU HAVE THAT PROBLEM, YEAH , FOR PLANES I AGREE , FOR TAXI CABS I DISAGREE!
