I think it wold take too much time to take the wheels off. My front wheel is QR so no problem (other than lawyer tabs I've yet to remove).
But the back wheel requires a 15mm wrench, plus I have to disconnect the shift cable and deal with the chain. Since the Metro train part of my commute only lasts 16 or 17 min; by the time I had the bike packed it would be time to unpack it.
If my train ride was an hour or more long . . . maybe, but probaby not even then. My folded DaHon takes up so little space (16" wheels remember) that a bag really isn't needed.
YMMV of course, and it might work wonderfully for some riders . . . but not for me.
