Stars99 really is OrlandoRE_Miracle! Nobody would complain about people walking on an escalator like him! People wholive here know thatmuch of the rushing is based on whether trains are pulling in the station or already there after a transfer. Nothing anyone can control.

It's in their charter, Orlando. Spend 5 minutes looking at the FY2010 budget, or any of the public docs on their website. They are a multi-jurisdictional government agency tasked with providing public transit services throughout the DC region, and implicit in that charter is a responsibility to maintain the equipment which they own.
This is like your nonsense about walkers somehow being responsible for Metro's escalator problems--you're just making stuff up.
Seriously, your fixation with escalator walking is just bizarre. Do they even have escalators in Orlando?
From the URL:
Furthermore, Kim stressed that about 75 percent of accidents on escalators in subways happenedbecause of people walking on escalators. Malfunctioning of escalators was only responsible for less than 10 percent of the total accidents, Kim said.
Kim explained that while walking on escalators, people can miss their step and tumble, which can lead to serious accidents.
In addition to safety concerns, the added weight caused by most people standing on the right side of escalators was damaging to them.
``More weight of passengers put on the right side of the escalators makes escalators tilt to the right and wear the right side more than the left side,'' Kim said. Korea Elevator Safety Institute (KESI) echoed the same view of Kim as it joined the campaign of ``no walking on escalators'' with SMRT.

Well, maybe there was a misunderstanding then--I wasn't talking about what's written in a charter.
That's fine, but I'm just wondering why you're so fixated by this. Why not jaywalking? Or people who proceed too quickly through revolving doors? People who don't to come to full stops at stop signs? Or who don't drive with their hands in the 10 and 2 position?
Why escalator walking? Is there so little to occupy one's time in Orlando that one is forced to spend time pondering the escalator riding habits of the residents of far-away cities?

The charter governs WMATA. They very much "have to do the maintenance".
