that's what I thought, I would always move to the side (unless I'm rushing too)

Toronto is the only city with escalators where people run up and down like mad, never seen this anywhere in Europe

oh and re: to Dennis' question about elderly using the stairs, well that's almost like asking how people lived in medieval ages, with no electricity or anything

and weren't the buildings only like 3-4 stories high before the escalators were invented anyway?

At least with an escalator, you're going up or down, there is a little effort required for both.


My biggest peeve are the asshats who STAND on the speed walks. Has life come to this, we need assisted walking? FFS people it's a speedwalk, not a human assembly line.

speed walk is that flat escalator in airports right? that's so awesome! and yeah, standing people there IS annoying, because people walking on it are usually trying to get to their gate fast

In the tube in London... no one in their right minds stands in the middle of an escalator. People know the rule.

Like most people in Toronto don't know the left lane on the highway is for passing, they don't know escalator etiquette either.

Escalators are not rides. Mr. Hahn, I share your pet peeve.
