hay all:
I'm just wondering how many of you have had success navegating the tubes in london or metros in several countries. Moving between lines and navegating stations during rush hour?
that would be greatly apreciated

My mum lives in London, so she and I do this regularly. The key is to learn your route at a quiet time if you wish to go it alone. Stay to platform walls rather than trying to work your way around people on the tube side when it's crowded. If you use a cane, whack it about enough to clear your path. Don't compromise. A lot of blind people end up falling from platforms when they do this due to being shunted by the uncaring crowd, and I just won't take the risk.
If you're happy to ask for assistance, the staff at the ticket barriers will always help, and are usually fantastic.
Hope this helps

I use the subway in Boston, but, not enough, as I have to ask for help changing lines in some instances.
Why would having to ask for help make you use it less? Do the people not assist you correctly or are they rude?
Hi, I use the subway in Glasgow. I find the staff very helpfull. Some times they are better than the ordanary train staff.
