least move out of the way. But on escalators that have the steps built into them, you've no right to think that the people ahead should get out of your way.

oh hell no. You need a walking lane when there are no stairs. Some of the DC escalators take 4 minutes if you don't walk. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 11:36
they're called movatots -- nm - marcel Jul 27, 11:36 1

a rampalator? i've seen flat people movers, but never a rampolator. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 11:35 12
- that crap right there is pure laziness (unless you have a physical handicap) I see them in airports -- nm - CQ Jul 27, 11:38 6
  - I stand on those too. (To the proper side.) -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 11:39 2
    - I always think of When Harry Met Sally when I'm on one of those. -- nm - kelly Jul 27, 11:42 1
      - never seen it. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 11:44
  - people movers like that are nice because you can walk faster on them. -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 11:39
  - YES, the moving ramps. I'm trying to race from one terminal to another, move your shit to one side! -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 11:39 1

- I've been on in in Japan. Also: an escalator has stairs, then goes flat in the middle, then stairs again. - ty97 Jul 27, 11:37
- They're getting popular here in the shopping centres with multi story carparks. -- nm - Loyola Jul 27, 11:36
- I've seen a movalator. One of our new shopping malls has one, to get carts up from the underground parking. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 11:36
- this makes me want to invent some sort of trampoline-based people mover. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:36 1
  - I vote for a series of tubes. -- nm - mafic Jul 27, 11:38
bullcrap. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 11:35 1
- Yeah, I don't get why people don't walk up *stairs*, even if the stairs are moving. :) - Beryllium Jul 27, 11:38 [flickr]
