After many breakdowns and heavy use, these OTIS escalators are finally being retired one by one. Schindler is currently replacing every one of these escalators. A few escalators were turned off so customers can walk up and down them since some were already ripped out. In this video, I take a ride on the remaining original escalators and also get to see one of the new ones which has already been put in service. I didn't realize this mod was happening, so I caught these just in time. I will periodically post updated videos of this escalator replacement project.
