Heat wave in New York shuts down escalators at transport hubs

Blue sign on a closed escalator at a transit station, noting the escalator is off to save energy and that elevators remain fully operational.

First, it was the air conditioners. Now it’s the escalators.

New Yorkers are now being told to take the elevator because escalators are being shut down in the name of “energy conservation.”

Is this really the direction America’s largest city should be heading?

This isn’t progress. It’s moving backward.
