Well it's the opposite isn't it, the current code of behaviour is being removed if anything. You suggest simply building more escalators? How would that not cause yet more congestion problems due to infrastructure upgrades?
- sandworm101 11y agoIt depends on which infrastructure you upgrade. Adding more trains/lines/stations will certainly bring more traffic/passengers. But escalators just move people within stations, they do not add new routes/destinations and so aren't going to bring people to a station that would otherwise not be there.
- orf 11y agoSure, but the act of adding them would cause considerable disruption was my point. It's no mean feat to get one of them installed.

They would, if they removed queues. It's not uncommon for people to avoid particular stations because they're often overcrowded, especially if their destination is only slightly further from the previous or next station. (Transport For London encourage this — the line diagram on Piccadilly Line trains advises against using Covent Garden station in the evening, since it only has lifts, and queues form.)
