Why You Shouldn't Walk on Escalators
- basicplus2 10y ago"It’s more efficient if everyone stands on an escalator instead of some people walking on it," surely it would be even more efficient if everybody walked on escalators
- dekhn 10y agono because walking takes up more space per person, dropping throughput.
- itchyjunk 10y agoThe argument is that it's safer to stand side by side. But people probably walk for speed, not safety. So unless they make it a rule and enforce it, I don't see people changing habits.
- dekhn 10y agothat's not the argument at all- it's not safety, but total throughput. The speed argument makes only a bit of sense- a few people attain higher speed, but at dramatically lower total overall throughput.
