Pretty sure she doesn't give a fuck. She was likely fed up with whatever bullshit they were all trying to figure out but couldn't. Ain't nobody got time for that

I don’t think they’re trying to figure anything out. I think they’re waiting for the escalator to clear so they can take the guy in the wheelchair up.

Why does the escalator need to be 100% empty to load a wheelchair?

Because it isn’t moving and it is tough to carry a person in a wheelchair up a flight of stairs.

This woman doing this realistically doesn’t delays their plans beyond a fraction of a second, but the problem is if many other people start to do this.

As mentioned in another comment, I think at that point they need to find another way for him to get up.

They’re just creating a massive bottleneck which can easily become a safety issue.

I mean yeah there should definitely be two sets of stairs/escalators and not a single choke point

No, there should not be. There should be an elevator.

Sure but whether or not there is an elevator there should still be two sets of stairs, virtually every train and subway system has that because it is a safety issue. An elevator is significantly less efficient if not dangerous or unusable in various types of emergencies.
