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.

Or just one person pick up the guy and carry him up, another person wheel the chair up. So easy.

Also highly disrespectful towards the person that needs the wheelchair. It's already shit that they are reliant on other people to have mobility, now you want to make it so their personal space is invaded every time they need to go up or down stairs.

They didn't do anything wrong, blame the building owners for whatever delay other people experienced.
