I understand they now have cameras in the tunnel and you will get caught.

My work required me to be subway rules trained.
It's a one day seminare put on by the TTC for those required to be rules trained.
At the end of it, you go for a tour of the tunnels. The guy from the TTC took us down there, we walked toward museum, then waited as a train passed about 12" from the end of my nose. (Face the oncoming train and look at the train, do not look at the train at 90 degrees or you will feel a little woozy.)
Never stand on any areas in the tunnels painted with yellow stripes. You'll get whacked. Ironically, the 3'rd rail wood crossings are also painted yellow and you have to step there to step over the third rail (600 Volts DC)
And the tiles at the edge of the platform are painted yellow. (Lots of yellow paint)
I learned that anyone can kill the power to the subway. Wherever you see a blue light, there is an emergency power shut off.
