Wrong way escalators at ORD

I over the past few years have used remote parking and taken the tram to Terminal 1 (UA).

As one gets off the tram, takes the escalator up to the walkway, one then has to cross over and go down the escalator on the left side (as approaching terminal), instead of the "normal" right hand side.

Usually not a problem, but if there are alot of people, it can be quite a jam.

This past weekend, I took the walkway from Terminal 2 to the tram.

Escalators were on the "proper" sides, there were tons of people and it flowed so smoothly. I wonder why the terminal 1 walkway escalators are reversed like that?
