I have a 31 inch waist, and work out everyday.

I'm fidgety. That's almost like a workout. Apparently.
Mppphhh... Thanks for the laugh.
TTC seats ARE narrow. I'm 5'8", 155 lbs (okay, perhaps I should be 150) and when I sit in a seat on a bus, my shoulder and upper arm touch the wall, and my other shoulder sticks well into the next seat. My build is very average. Subway seems only marginally better ...Maybe you're too wide? lol

Perhaps why it's not such an issue on the subway ... or perhaps my subway rides are normally pretty short so I stand if it's half-full, and my bus trips are 30 minutes, so I always get a seat.At least you are able to extend your butt out into the aisle. They could replace them with wider seats at some future date if everyone gets too obese and complains too much.
The consortium comprising Bombardier Transportation and Alstom Transport signed a contract with Société de transport de Montréal (STM) for the supply of 468 metro cars (52 nine-car trainsets) to replace the MR-63 fleet, in service since 1966, and to optimize service. The contract is estimated at approximately $1.2 billion CDN ($1.2 billion US, 864 million euro). Bombardier’s share is estimated at $742 million CDN ($725 million US, 519 million euro) and Alstom’s share is estimated at $493 million CDN ($482 million US, 345 million euro). The contract will enter into force, and the final price fixed using the applicable exchange rate, when the usual steps of funding approval will be completed.

The new cars will offer all the characteristics of a 21st century metro:
* The next-generation metro cars will provide a range of new features for passengers, ensuring maximum space and safety, including:
o Open gangways allowing riders to walk freely from one end of the train to the other.* The new design will increase reliability with proven propulsion and traction system technologies, and leverage environmentally friendly technologies, such as the well-known wooden shoe braking system.
o A new spacious interior design with optimal and ergonometric sitting arrangement.
o A state-of-the art electronic passenger information system.
o New security features, including onboard cameras and a two-way intercom system connecting passengers with the driver and the control center.
But Toronto will be the first city to have an open gangway subway.!

Vancouver's skytrain isn't a metro...They're LRV"s sub categorized to INNOVIA ART"s built by Bombardier.

The Canada line trains aren't metro's either they're LRV's built by Hyundai Rotem.
