As a blind person, if you have ever been
standing by a subway train and fallen between the platform and the train you
would have a strong preference for any assistance any type of device or
architectural feature could offer. Such an incident happend to my late wife
while she and I were in northern Paris a few years ago. Fortunately, I pulled
her from any danger before it resulted in injury but would not assistive
manifestations have also helped at that point? I am aware that was France and
we are talking about the United States of America but the principle of and for
safety while traveling is universal. That universality is also expected with
regard to any other ground, air, or oceanic travel whether it is across the
street or around the world. Whether a person is blind should not matter at
all.
