     I will say this.  I ride the Metro Rail system everyday here in D.C. 
and have had no problems.  If you step before you sweep the area well, that 
is poor cane technique and you will pay for that mistake.  Sorry folks I 
feel that with proper training and care you won't need many special mods to 
a subway.
