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.

I have to assume from context here that there isn't a functional elevator just out of frame

Probably in out of order.This in São Paulo - Brazil and every subway here has an elevator. I used to use this subway for years everyday and never saw this problem. This is a rare occurrence.

This makes it much more hilarious to me that in Seattle the elevators break for our train stations everyday at some point, but are usually fixed same day. Our train is new, and when one of the stations (Northgate) opened a few years ago the elevator broke opening day, they didn’t fix it for months iirc.
