Please READ: An escalator is a moving staircase, a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building. The device consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks, allowing the step treads to remain horizontal. Escalators are used around the world to move pedestrian traffic in places where elevators would be impractical. Principal areas of usage include department stores, shopping malls, airports, transit systems, convention centers, hotels, and public buildings.

The benefits of escalators are many. They have the capacity to move large numbers of people, and they can be placed in the same physical space as one might install a staircase. They have no waiting interval (except during very heavy traffic), they can be used to guide people toward main exits or special exhibits, and they may be weatherproofed for outdoor use. In 2004, it was estimated that the United States had 30,000 escalators, and that people used escalators 90 billion times each year.

  • Do people REALLY have that much "My space" feel to themselves? XD

  • In some malls, the up and down escalators aren't next to each other but on opposite sides of each other. As teenagers, my friends and I used to run up the down escalator (if it was empty) instead of going around to the one we needed. Going down the up escalator is a little trickier.
