[@speede541]

Yikes, I wouldn't be doing a tv interview from the pit of a running escalator.

0:00 - 0:06 feel the beat This can be music :D

[@blount_man]

Guy says they call them meat grinders. But other guys is being interviewed while its running

[@isaacsac5]

BART needs to keep educated riders about what they can't take on the escalators. I have seen too many people take things on Bart escalators that don't belong on escalators. Things suck as baby strollers and bikes.

isaacsac5 Amateur, I’ve seen a shopping airport cart on an escalator once (OAK airport)

[@LuckyCharms777]

There’s a bike path in a tunnel that goes under a river in the Netherlands. They literally have a regular escalator for people to take their bikes on. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZKvco2pqNp3aNE There’s a grocery store in my city that literally has an escalator designed for taking the shopping cart on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noe5hWiOi6iUf9E

Thx for the update Bart. I will remember to stay off of them when they are not running.

[@kolindunn6194]

I blame Bart management they have let those elevators escalators and stations run down over the last 35 years

[@lenojames]

Just a thought. BART carries almost half a million people every day. It stands to reason that their escalators would carry most of them too. Under that continuous strain, I can see why they break down so often.

[@grassytramtracks]

And lots of those people will use more than one escalator, as well

[@lohphat]

You couldn't pay me to work on those. The Market Street station escalators are used by the homeless as latrines. The pit is a biohazard zone.

[@somedude6830]

It's funny how BART employees don't use the service even to go to a station

[@dnglchlk]

Man, when I lived in San Francisco, I loved the Bart. I rode it nearly every day just for fun. One day, The escalator just stopped for no reason, and now I have an idea.

[@ckildegaard]

Anybody know why they're dangerous when standing still? I didn't get that part...

[@TransitAndTeslas]

ckildegaard they can start up at any time or move without warning.

[@irvingwaldorf5890]

OK, if they are woking that many hours why the heck does the one on the east end of the Embarcadero Station next to the Hyatt Regency Hotel go out and stay out of operation for more than one day at a time?????

[@zafsf1]

Irving Waldorf just back in service today as 12:35pm. www.google.com/amp/www.sfgate.com/bayarea/amp/BART-Walk-left-stand-right-rule-wears-out-10870252.php?client=safari

[@chriskierstead1304]

The guy should be fired including his supervisor for being in an escalator well with rotating steps and NO step guard in place.

[@LuckyCharms777]

Maybe this guy should be looking at not accidentally touching the moving escalator rather than being turned around talking to the reporter. 🤦‍♂️

[@shivam6384]

LOL escalators
