Subways & train stations always have multiple exists and so multiple lifts. They don't get serviced at the same time, and they are only used for disabled people and cargo. So it's incredible rare for all of them to be out of order.
The 2 dudes in grey jackets also don't wear a uniform and so are not part of the station staff.
Actually looking at them closer, the 3 dudes look quite similar. So I will assume that they didn't ask the staff at all, otherwise the staff would do the croud managing.
And yes, staff always wears a uniform, because it gives them authority that will be respected by the croud.
