ramps are generally an accessibility thing. escalators don't really help things on wheels. -- nm - mafic Dec 7, 10:46 5
- wasnt referring to wheels in my old home town it was about older folks that just couldnt do stairs so ramp was needed -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:52 1
  - isn't it a federal law that public buildings need to be accessible? - loosilu Dec 7, 10:55
- and slow people with canes aren't really helped by a escalators, esp. fast ones like that -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:48 2
  - funny thing is, this one isn't any faster than others. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 10:50
