Of course not. However, since you have several lanes, what about having "walking compulsory" and "standing compulsory" escalators? Assuming enough escalators to get the right distribution, this would ensure maximum throughput and minimum annoyance at peak hours.

If the observations in the article hold true in this scenario, you'd have a mostly empty "walking" escalator right next to a packed "standing" escalator. I think the point is enough people prefer to stand over walking than any dedicated walking space is likely wasted.
