Dear Prateek,
I do go to different countries, But i always ask the person who will be
walking with me please put my hand on railing when eskilater comes.
I also come to know when it will get over according to the railing height.
According to regular practice we can become master.

Subject: [AI] help needed: for using escalators
hi folks,
hope you all are doing great.
With all the traveling I’ve been doing from past whatever months to
different parts of world, one of the problems I’m facing is to cope
with escalators.
Escalators are becoming common in Indian structures too, but I found a
lot of escalators at various places especially in countries like US,
UK etc.
No matter whatever I’ve tried, I haven’t been able to independently
use the escalators, and in fact, found myself in a strange nuisance
all the times I have to use them.
for Those who don’t know, I’m a totally blind.
Though I manage to take someone’s help to climb through escalators,
but even in that case find a lot uneasiness, particularly due to the
strange manner most of the people use to help me.
Sometimes, 2 people holding my hands from both the sides, shouting
like hell when I have to further my leg, and all that irritates me to
the crest.
I feel like a victim and find a serious discomfiture.
Since many of you have been traveling across the world and using
escalators from quite sometime now, I request you to kindly share your
experiences on how do you cope with them.
Since I do not have any sight available, it’ll be helpful if you can
help me by describing from that perspective.
So, can you please guide me on the following?
1. how to determine when to further the legs when you are totally
blind and can not catch the visual signals?
2. is there a technique to do it independently?
3. I feel a little apprehensive about risk of legs to get wedged into
the stairways. Is there a way out?
Your valuable guidance will be of great use, not just for me, but for
lot of others like me.
Hoping to have some positive responses.
Regards,
Prateek agarwal.
