How do I word this without sounding like a dick?
Have you watched how people walk? They shamble, they stand on escalators (not the idea, folks!) and so on. These people drive. They look at their phones as they drive. They speed. Many of them are passively suicidal.
I'm not the only person I know who has crashed a car on a kind of death wish in the past. How the fuck are cars legal? Should be as bureaucratic to drive a car as it is to fly a plane.
E: oh and by the way, people cross the street to avoid cigarette smoke. Fair enough but like, are you fucking kidding me?
That's interesting. Makes sense I guess given that there'll be more space between people when they walk. In non peak conditions and for selfish reasons I can't think why you shouldn't walk. In fact, wouldn't one side standing give people the option? A mix of individual speed if required and max throughput?
No one should have to rush to work in the first place I guess. Also I suspect the trains are the bottleneck, not escalators usually
Didn't read, just spitballing lol
I'd prefer people not stand on both sides of the escalator for the same reason I'd prefer them not to block the stairs. I think the London method wasn't adopted accidentally. It's a psychological thing as much as it is a numbers game
Might read it later
E: damn it now I'm thinking about it and will inevitably read it later
