When I portage my Hillborne up and down the long steps of the South Hayward Bart station, I grab it hard on the seat tube and loop my thumb into the top loop of the King cage that is bolted to the seat tube. If I'm wearing knit gloves, it's hard to get a good grip. More than once I've thought that it would be great to have a second top tube about halfway down the seat tube to simplify urban portage.
