"Moreover, you don't have to take the word of foamers for it. Listen to the MTA. They recently promised to make escalator and elevator performance better, and recognized its a longstanding problem. That recognition alone has taken a long time to materialize, but its a positive step. In a news story on the same, I also recall an MTA official also recognizing that escalator renovations took too long, and that too needed updating. This was around the time when the ability to check to see what's actively working came online. "That much is true. MTA did say that. "WMATA, a much newer system, to be sure, has lots of escalators, some of them very long given the construction of their system, and I've noticed they seemed to have a rather better record on escalators." WMATA's decision not to put canopies over their escalators led to extensive outages due to snow and ice. There was extensive reporting about that too. Also, WMATA has the advantage of shuttingh down completely between 1AM and 5AMor so. Any system which is not a 24/7 operation has an advantage over 24/7 system. Still, if WMATA is doing better o escalators (that's possible), the opposite is true with their trains. Ironic isn't it? The escalator's working but the train breaks down more often. In New York, you run into a problem with the escalator, but you can count on the train. |
