In Tokyo when a train arrives, there is always a fairly long queue at the bottom of the escalator. In fact, the queue is so long that it is often impossible to get to the stairs to avoid the escalator. It usually interferes with the queuing of the trains on the platform as well. I can definitely see why they want to do this and it's probably a good idea. I very highly doubt that it will work. Even I will feel too weird to do it unless everybody else does it. They may have to seed the crowd with fake travelers just to get people to start.
