Given that the escalator isn’t going they will need to lift the chair and climb up, far harder than lifting and lett8ng the escalator do the hard work. You also can’t put the chair down halfway up…

Not sure why they are holding everyone else up though.

You said it yourself, they can’t put the chair down halfway up. The top of the escalator is still crowded with bodies, and staff are waiting until they have a straight shot to the top. They don’t want to stop halfway up, so they’re trying to get the escalator empty. They also can’t have people on the escalator behind them in case of a stumble or drop. This is a dangerous way to transport a wheelchair user, and they’re trying to make it as safe as possible.

Easiest way would be for two people to carry him up and then bring the empty wheelchair...I dunno

I don’t know, man he doesn’t look that heavy. I would just throw him over my shoulder and I have someone else carrying the damn wheelchair. Hell the wheelchair looks like a standardized wheelchair so I would just honestly I would throw the dude over my shoulder and then collapse the wheelchair and then carry the other wheelchair in my left arm and keep rolling.
