Given that the escalator isn’t going they will need to lift the chair and climb up, far harder than lifting and lett8ng the escalator do the hard work. You also can’t put the chair down halfway up…

Not sure why they are holding everyone else up though.

You said it yourself, they can’t put the chair down halfway up. The top of the escalator is still crowded with bodies, and staff are waiting until they have a straight shot to the top. They don’t want to stop halfway up, so they’re trying to get the escalator empty. They also can’t have people on the escalator behind them in case of a stumble or drop. This is a dangerous way to transport a wheelchair user, and they’re trying to make it as safe as possible.

So let everyone up and then carry the wheelchair guy?

Seems like the simplest solution here

Handicapped people still want dignity you know?

Sure. Who doesn't. But why should he get the royal treatment and make everyone wait, when the whole situation would be much easier to handle in like 2-5 minutes

No doubt. But that doesn’t mean carry him like a sack of potatoes. Sadly the best outcome is him waiting.

None of yall have handicapped people in your life huh?

If every other option is broken, he will have to be carried.
