Escalating time on the T

By adamg on Thu, 01/19/2006 - 12:26pm

On More Than A Third Of My Life Is Oeuvre, Brett reports that he timed how long it took him to get up the escalator from the platform at Porter:

... A one way trip was approximately 2:40.

So, at about 5 minutes a day: 25 minutes a week x 50 weeks: the average commuter spends about 20 hours a year riding the metal stairs.

Can anyone claim to have run up the down escalator at Porter Square?

It was one of the greatest accomplishments from my college days. And I did it intoxicated (no kidding) while wearing workboots.

I'm surprised that any of the escalators in Porter were actually operational for as long as that would take.
