It's nobody fault if you happen to be too large for ordinary bus seats.

I have to disagree with you here, Marc.

I am too large for quite a few bus seats. At a whopping 5'5½"(166cm)
tall, I find my long??!! legs mean my knees are crammed against the seat
in front, even on some modern buses. My hips are too wide for some of
the seats too but I'm not overweight.

The problem is that the seats have been designed for tiny people.

That is the fault of the designers, not 'nobody'!

The vast majority of people are not over 6' 3" tall.

A significant minority exceeds 6'3" but I'm nowhere near that and still
find seats too small.
I think this is why some people decide to occupy two seats, a despicable
habit.
