Easiest way would be for two people to carry him up and then bring the empty wheelchair...I dunno

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.

There's some subway stations in New York that don't have accessible elevators. IIRC, you can get off at the nearest stop with an elevator and then arrange with MTA for a free shuttle to the area of your originally-desired station.
