Stu, Yes, I admit that it is a little difficult for me to understand the problem with recognizing the end of the platform, but since I never rode on a subway, and since the problem seems far too common, I assume that a little assistance in the form of tactile tiles wouldn't hurt. What I really want to know though is, do those of you who worry about our image being negatively affected by tactile tiles likewise think that the braille they are putting in many of the elevators in our fine city should be avoided for similar reasons? Funny how we can view some things as allowing us to be more independant, and others as making us look inferior to our sighted peers!
