A note about escalators when turned off...
Because safety is always our No. 1 priority, occasionally we need to temporarily shut down escalators before, during and after major events near a station—such as concerts and sporting events. The temporary shutdowns are the safest way to manage large crowds heading into and out of stations. During baseball homestands, the escalators are turned off for the entire homestand. The reason is that the process of shutting down the escalators is a lengthy one that requires a significant amount of work—not just simply shutting down power, but partially disassembling the escalator to secure the drive mechanism. This makes it impractical and costly to turn on/off before and after each game of a series.
