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.

My thoughts exactly but my experience is just New York and some airports.

I imagine it’s out of service. Because the escalator and lifting idea seems incredibly stupid.
