yup. I take the metro every day. I position myself near the exits within the car and remain aware of forward momentum (e.g. cranium never "behind" metal pole). I carry a headlamp, small crowbar, SW radio and a few other things. Another concern are the dilapidated escalators and their people-moving effectiveness (or lack thereof) during mass egress.
