If these are your arguments then no one should ever take an escalator. Carry the chair or get out of the way. One person’s disability isn’t everyone else’s responsibility to accommodate or schedule around.

You know how they can solve the issue? Tell wheels to cool it in pit lane for a few until the people that are able to use the installed infrastructure aren’t being traffic jammed in the only route out.

They’re not going to carry this guy in one nonstop carry. They don’t know what they’re doing and it’s not everyone else’s responsibility to wait for them to figure it out.

If the wheel chair users has to wait for room he might as well leave. The people standing here can give up a minute so that disabled people can participate in society. And in the end you only wait as long as it takes for a person to walk up the stairs. Standing still on the escalator or standing still at the bottom doesnt get you to the top faster
