Walk-a-lator

In this industrial age, we all would have got onto an escalator in shopping malls, airports, train stations. Escalator was invented by Nathan Ames in 1852 with the intent of moving people up / down in form of moving staircase.

However off-late the purpose of escalator has taken a different dimension. Many have started to use escalators as walk-a-lators. They walk up/down on the escalators in view of reaching destination faster by few seconds. In this walk, they demand those who stand to move. This attitude of people puts those who stand under safety concern of tripping.

Most escalators are built with staircase nearby. Those who are in hurry could take the stairs rather than walking on escalators. Taking the stairs also works out as additional exercise regime for those who commute providing a healthy lifestyle.

People rush everywhere in fast moving world. In this rush, hope people don't push those who stand on escalators to trip and fall. Hope people value safety of others who take escalators with its original intent of moving people up/down.
