Pachacutec: If you notice there arenot poles at each row of seats. This may help the vertically changelled. The walk way is also wider. What I disagree with is the lack of carpet. This on rainy days may be a slipping hazard.

As a "shorty," I was particularly interested in Metros' plan to put handstraps in the subway cars. I saw what I guess was a "test" car the other week, and all of the straps are in the center of the car; so we have to assume that someone as short as myself can #1 get to the center of a crowded subway car, and #2 there will be a strap available for us to grab. (there's not very many of the straps on each car)
