The Escalator Rule China Just Banned — And Why It Was Never Right

You step onto an escalator and instinctively move to the right. Nobody taught you. Nobody asked you. You just knew.
For years, "stand right, walk left" was seen as the polite, civilised thing to do on Chinese metro escalators. Then Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chengdu all said: stop. In this episode, Coach Tian unpacks why a habit that felt so right is actually making escalators less safe and less efficient, and how it was quietly abandoned by the very city that invented it.
