can you stand on the left side of escalator?

Rushing up and down the moving escalator is dangerous. If you want to catch the train, use the stair.

hohaha SG

so much publicity about telling people to stand on your left at the escalator by default and stand on the right only if you wish to 'cut the queue'.

So cannot understand why there are still many idots who stand on the right side of the escalator and block others from moving up/down.

once one person stops on the right side of the escalator, it 'hogs' the crowd.

Pls lah, everyone be more conscious when you use the escalator. It just take one idot to cause blockage. Guess many know what I mean and feel the same.

They are copying Japan escalator style. Laughing

i noticed that ppl oni do that during morning rush hours and evening rush hours (when ppl going to work and going home) and applies to town area stations only.

other times and in heartland stations, ppl will stand left, right, up, down, hugging, kissing, fondling butt...........

shopping centres oso no such rule.

yah...

but if ppl are blocking ur way..

u can tell them to excuse...

tat's wat i always do...

smartboy4 SG

not say it must be a rule, this one automatic one leh, if drivers can automatic free right lane why people can't?
japan very auto enough, even on the path people can make way automatically without being asked to excuse

over here no leh, rush over like in those over crowded orchard somerset mrt then no choice, all rush like bees impossible to make way.

wishboy SG

i thought u oni nid to give them a pat on their back, then they auto siam for u Laughing

mr_sotong SG

the stairs beside it is for wat? Laughing

hohaha SG

think MRT station and all places with escalators need more publicity in all languages to create more awareness. See a lot of uncle and aunties blocking the way. Same applies to youngsters like us.

Pls lah, be more automatic abit. Be more civic-minded.

hohaha SG

if you are 7-10 person behind the 1st idot that blocks the way, basically both sides of the escalator will be blocked. how to excuse me, pls lah.

udontknowme SG

wat i dun like is those people one big group then crowd one whole area on the escalator Rolling Eyes
say asscuse me they oso dun wan to move one

but mi will oni say asscuse me many times until they move and if im in a bad mood, mi will give pple a shove when i walk past also

escalator takes a few seconds to go up or down. they cannot shut up for a while meh?

mr_sotong SG

and dont be lazy.. there are stairs which u can use.. n stop blaming those people who stand on the right side.. BLAME ON YOUR LAZINESS!
