I would be surprised if people standing still can be higher capacity than
people moving!
I was stating a fact rather than an opinion. How well it works in practise
depends on how efficiently people load themselves onto adjacent steps of
the escalator, so it helps a lot if everyone knows in advance that they
will be standing both sides.

I'm sorry? Are you saying that people passing a point, say half way down the
escalator at speed X in 2 columns will carry more than one column at speed X
and the other at 3-4X (which is what walking achieves)?
