    It’s just a small thing. The escalators don’t run continuously. They start running as you approach them.

        We even have those in Brazil. Not everywhere, I reckon most are older than those but I’ve seen them in some malls and airports at least.

      I’ve seen some in the US that run slowly until you get close. I guess they think that if it was stopped completely, people would assume it’s non-operational.

        They can put a sign saying it’ll run when there’s a person. Eventually it’ll be common knowledge. I’m just thinking re efficiency.
