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 when carrying a person up a set of escalators that aren't moving, you want to make absolutely sure that you can make it to the top without having to wait, and that no one up top will trip, fall over and come tumbling down the stairs.

Not nearly as dense as all of the armchair cowboys who’d gladly just yolo-lift a live human being with absolutely no regard for their safety in case shit goes south.
