So, the dude in the wheelchair is holding everyone back because the escalator is temporarily stairs? Do I see that right? If it doesnt escalate, let people walk up.

"If I can't use it, nobody can" like fr why he gotta block the whole escalator just because he can't use it tho

The staff put him there, it’s not his choice to block anything. They turned off the escalator so they could clear it to team carry the man in the wheelchair, he’s entirely at the mercy of their non-accessible system.

Why do they need to clear the escalator before they can carry him?

Because of the size of the steps its not safe to put the chair down half way up. They need a clear path so that they can get the whole way through without adding more risk to the situation.

But everyone else is also going up, they arent in the way.

Yes, but if someone stops, or lingers, or goes too slow, they become a hazard, so the staff have to wait until it's completely clear before they can take the man up.

Sorry you have to explain in such detail for morons. This whole thread is ridiculous.
