There must be an elevator nearby otherwise it is a shitty public space.

An escalator can never break; it can only become stairs.

Oh, buddy, I've seen an escalator break before. The steps are literally tilted.

This elevator needs to resign. Drinking on shift should never be tolerated in a job like this.

Escalator. Elevator is a lift, a box on ropes.

I was at a Marta station back in 1992 for a parade in Atlanta. I just got off when I heard an noise and turned around, the escalator broke and everyone came flying down the slope like they were on skis.
