If tactile strips were installed on subway platforms, 99% of sighted
riders would not realise the purpose of said strips.  Unless there were
an inordinate amount of publicity accompanying the installation, few
sighted employers would even know that tactile strips exist; even fewer
would use the lack of same as an excuse to not hire blind employees.
