I got yelled at in a New York subway and also saw a rat. Such an exotic experience. It was great!

Would love to go back one day.

I seldom get the idea of people running/walking up/down escalators. I mean, the idea is to move you without you having to move your legs, so if you're in such a hurry why not take the stairs? People look at me oddly when I just stand there and let the escalator do what it was intended to do.

walking up the escalators is faster than walking up the stairs. Also sometimes there aren't any normal stairs around

also isn't that escalator rule universal? it's used in holland too

[Lisnaholic]

Yep, same in London.



^ Escalator-goers behaving correctly on the Tube - but wait a minute, that looks like a tourist, bottom right. His clothes are way too summery; someone should tell him what to wear to fit in better:-

Yeah it's most likely universal but there are people that will stand on the wrong side and just ride the escalator blocking the people that want to keep it moving by walking while on it.

Yep it's annoying

The kidnapper and murderer is the mother of the girl's best friend and her husband, who kidnapped her yesterday when she was playing with her own daughter and asked for a $250,000 pesos ransom. The girl was found lifeless in a garbage bag in Taxco.

Camila's feminicide shocked the residents of Taxco, who, seeing that the authorities did not arrest those allegedly responsible, decided to do justice: the woman was beaten by the angry mob and died this afternoon.

Crazy story from Mexico. Gonna look for a link to the story.

I'm sure there have been plenty of articles written about this. Not just walking rules but other tourist no nos for people visiting NYC for the first time. Just like when you are going down an escalator stand to the right if you are just riding down so people that are rushing to get somewhere can use the left side to walk down the escalator as it's going down to get wherever they are going quicker.

That's a universal escalator rule.
