Actually, in my experience they are almost always all working at Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok. Probably the only thing there that does work.

Also whilst we are on the subject of moving WALKWAYS, what part of walk means "stand, preferably blocking as much of the WALKWAY as you can whilst staring aimlessly at your fellow passengers who are running late to their connections?". Grr.
A whole lot of people take the travelators because they can't walk. Either have mobility issues or are carrying a lot of baggage. Standing on them is just fine. Just keep to one side so people can pass. No standing side by side.

But whatever you want to call them, please don't anyone block my way on one. I have even less patience with that than I do with people who block me from walking on escalators.
Stand on the right; that's all you have to do, and we'll all get along!
If they would just put up signs to tell people to stand on the right the problem would be solved.
