Slowest Escalator Ride EVER!

STM has recently installed brand new "smart" escalators that can detect if someone is riding on it, or not, and if there is nobody onboard, then the energy-save mode turns on, and slows the motors of the escalators. Well, we outsmarted this escalator, and spent the next 5 minutes slowly crawling to the next floor.

@F1V3P3NGU1N5 You can double your speed on escalators if you walk up while they're moving. :)

This video proves that people will watch anything.

@davidls11 Indeed. I should upload my "Special Extended Edition".

@LeeJHooker Indeed. I have an even longer ride, but on a faster inclined ramp that appears at the Beaudry metro station. I'll upload it soon.

The slowest escalator is one that doesn't move :)
