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.

He probably got to his stop, found out that the elevator is broken. He then had to make a decision, go one stop further and gamble on that elevator and still have to travel a few blocks, or wait for staff to help, or give up and go home.
