The escalators are not only for the lazy. There are plenty of older, pregnant, or just plain not-feeling-well people who don't necessarily need the assistance of an elevator but who strain up the stairs.

But I agree, the issues really are 1) why doesn't the PATH invest in accessible stations and 2) why are our tax dollars paying the wages of repairpersons who can't keep the existing system working for more than a day or two at a time?

I think she owned the long-abandoned building on 2nd St b/w Jersey & Coles that homeless people squat in (and set fires in) during the winter months. It's finally being renovated after 4-5 years of neglect.

How is it that the escalator repairpersons keep their jobs? These escalators never remain in full working order for more than a day or two at a time.
