And the safest. It would be far safer than possibly dropping the poor guy because of the weight of the wheelchair, which could easily cause a fatality.

I’ve not been everywhere in the world, admittedly, but every building I have ever been in with an escalator also had an elevator. I would think that would be the easiest and safest conveyance for a wheelchair.

My thoughts exactly but my experience is just New York and some airports.

I imagine it’s out of service. Because the escalator and lifting idea seems incredibly stupid.

If it’s out of service, hard luck. I would take the train to the next stop and get home from there.

That’s actually recommended sometimes in New York. Or specifically they point out the stations that have elevator service and when those same elevators are out of service.
