LA: 0.46 meters/s (1 mph)Hong Kong: 0.75 meters/s (1.7 mph)Kyiv: 0.9 meters/s (2 mph)Kinda slower than I expected in general. I assume the speed is mostly dictated by boarding/alighting safety.
Kyiv subway stations are also air raid shelters.[1] They may have decided that running the escalators fast to get people to safety is worth the risk.[1] <a href="https://visitkyiv.com/visitor-essentials/kyiv-shelter-map/" rel="nofollow">https://visitkyiv.com/visitor-essentials/kyiv-shelter-map/
I was wondering if there’s something different about the escalator manufacturer or design. Like longer landing areas or boarding area with extended hand rails. If you had any familiarity with them.
