Best Answer

While many programs train their dogs to ride escalators there are many accidents each year involving sudden toe amputation. In the U.S., wherever there is an escalator there is also an elevator. It is generally safest to take the elevator instead to avoid risk of injury to the dog. All the Guides from Guide Dogs for the Blind are escalator trained. It is very easy to avoid problems with escalators with the proper training. Most blind or visually impaired folks who have Guides will use the elevators or escalators instead of the stairs due to the possible tripping and falling that can occur.

Why does it take longer to go up the down escalator than to go down the up escalator?

It actually depends on how fast you choose move up or down but the normal walking speed for the average person is about 2 miles and an escalator moves 90-180 feet per minute and an average human walks about 196 feet per minute so it would only take a minute or so. Also you have to take into affect gravity which makes it harder to go upward which also makes you lift the mass of your body against gravity.
