What's wrong with letting the escalator take you up or down? Maybe people have a lot of luggage they'd rather take a break from carrying. For those who don't want to walk up or down the escalator, they should stay to the right (at least in the US) and let those of us who want to walk have the ability to do so on the left.

By the way, what is the difference between an escalator and a "walking" escalator. They both move you up and down, right?
