[sustran] Re: Metro/rail transfer by lift/elevator in China or ?

[Jain Alok]

Lifts are primarily used for secondary access (disabled, elderly, people
with luggage etc.) in metro stations in Hong Kong. Having said that
there are many places in HK where lifts/escalators are used almost as
"public transport". Let me know if this is relevant and I can provide
more details.

I believe the Hong Kong subway (MTA) uses some high-capacity 
lifts.  ... and Hong Kong is a good place in general to study lifts 
as intra-building transport modes.
