Escalator
Transportation
Leaving one side of the escalator open is a phenomenon seen clearly around the world in busy cities. In most regions of Japan, people stand to the left, but in some parts of the Kansai region, people stand to the right.\nUsually, people leave one step open between themselves and the next rider on the escalator. However, when it is crowded, people may prefer to stand on every step.
