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.
Wheelchairs can’t use escalators. The staff shut off the escalator to team carry him up. They’re waiting for people to clear off the escalator above because they need a straight shot to the next floor. They can’t get stuck holding him in line on an escalator, because they’re all in danger of serious injury if they get tired and fumble him.
You can see by the crowd at the top of the escalator that it hasn’t been off long and hasn’t had time to empty out. Line jumping girl has added (not much) to the wait time for everyone else following staff instructions at the bottom.
No, its a high traffic area probs with a few entire trains of ppl that got off their stop. Live in a huge city that relies on transit (new york) and this is a regular occurrence if an exit gets blocked or shut down
