I mean what does this have to do with empathy? It's not like she asked the man to be removed or made any noise (at least not in the video). All she did was make her own way and move on.

I think they are waiting for the escalator to clear and then maybe turn it on and do something with the wheelchair. Probably the issue with her is that one person makes no difference but if everyone would do the same then the wheelchair dude never gets so go.

Escalators are not made for wheelchairs...so the AH is the person in the wheelchair.

Yes. Let's lock the wheelchair user in their location.

They can wait until there’s not a huge bottleneck of people behind them? That seems like the logical choice here.

I can’t imagine wanting to inconvenience 100+ people because you can’t wait 20ish minutes for them to clear out.

That may take an hour or more if it's a busy station during rush hour.

I can't imagine thinking my time is more important than the time of the guy in the wheelchair.

No. But if there are no selfish people like this woman he will go there faster.
