It’s just a small thing. The escalators don’t run continuously. They start running as you approach them.

We have those in Europe as well, not Hyper commin, but still

We have escalators that don't stop in Europe? I didn't even know those existed.

We even have those in Brazil. Not everywhere, I reckon most are older than those but I’ve seen them in some malls and airports at least.

I've seen some in the US that run slowly until you get close. I guess they think that if it was stopped completely, people would assume it's non-operational.

They can put a sign saying it'll run when there's a person. Eventually it'll be common knowledge. I'm just thinking re efficiency.
