from 01.02.2023 the handrails of escalators will be switched off all over germany affected are mainly transport companies, but also department stores.
according to a recently completed behavioral study of escalator users, it was found that only 2% use the handrail.
this study, which was mainly accompanied by transport companies, was carried out in several capitals and on escalators with particularly high traffic.
we are sure that we have made the right decision for all our customers, said a spokesman for the transport company. in addition, we save a lot of electricity, which is not insignificant in this day and age, the expert added. technically, it is not a problem because the handrails are controlled separately.
Nonsense, there are also people who are physically impaired or children cling to it.Whoever decided that should better go clean toilets, incredibly soas

Rarely laughed so hard; although the handrail drive and the stair drive are two separate systems, they are still related.
The handrail works like a kind of V-belt, and usually runs a little faster than the stairs themselves.
In all escalators a safety mechanism is installed, which stops the escalator in case the handrail runs as fast or slower than the main staircase.
In other words, if the handrail is not running, the stairs will not move either.

i understand it already. the handrails are also not dismantled, so that impaired people and children can still hold on. just have to reach every few meters or sit right on the escalator.
i get it. after all, the handrails aren't taken down, so impaired people and children can still hold on. just have to reach out every few feet or sit on the escalator right away.

they want to have to save electricity..as if someone studies such things for days & how often they are touched..at corona times it is understandable that even fewer people touch everything senseless....
but there are these finger skateboards..you just ride it up or down
If the transport companies finally switch off the handrails after years of research and a study, then there should now be time and resources to switch something on. For example, all elevators at S and U-Bahn stations in and around Cologne.
