I assumed he was speaking hyperbolically and meant walking up was akin to running. If he actually meant running and leaping then I agree with him that's ridiculous.This is about walking vs standing still though.

But walking up, no.
What's funny is it actually is. The only reason this is true is because we have all these standers to begin with. Their slow movements is what makes this study true, but it's still shower then the actual default. If we had people understand how escalators work and had more walkers like we should then the system we do use (walk left, stand right) is far superior.Walking up the escalator is faster, and I refuse to hear otherwise. This is propaganda pushed by left-side standing apologists.
John no. Not you.
Standing still is now faster than walking. Thanks science !
If they wanted people to walk on escalators they wouldn't make them move. Let escalators do the walking for you, like the Lord intended.
Fight me on an escalator (while standing still) if you disagree.
It's moving so when you walk up it you get to the top faster.#teamstander, it's moving for a reason, so you don't have to...
You could work that into a good riddleTitle is correct, if you're going downwards then walking up the escalator isn't faster than standing still.
Aren't escalators intended to increase the flow of passengers compared to stairs by effectively shortening the distance? I never thought they were meant for people too lazy to walk, which is what lifts are for.
Why would I walk up moving stairs when they're moving me, for me?
So as to use them as intended. People are so lazy. They have shortened the stairs for you and yet you still find that too tough.
Perhaps if they shortened them even more, maybe a moving slope?, I could shuffle my way to the top instead of walking.
