There's probably a big expanse of inaka between them where few, if any, escalators exist.
Good effort on JR to speed up the change. In general I stand, if someone does say something I remind them of the rules. In Taiwan, I have also people tell me move in different languages (Chinese, then Japanese then English if no response as I look like Japanese as I am (Mixed)) and most cases they just wait. I spend a lot of time in Kaoshiung in southern Taiwan and it seems many people just stand which bothers people/co workers from Taipei a lot.
