At Mecidiyeköy metrobus stop, the malfunction in the escalator moving upwards is still not fixed. While the downward moving stairs that provide exit continue to work, the fixed staircase in the middle is occasionally blocked.
Officials are trying to make arrangements by setting up lanes to control the entrances and exits at the stop. Due to the long queues at the stop, officials warn citizens to use the other overpass. Announcements frequently remind them that the escalator is malfunctioning and that the entrance to the overpass should be used.
Citizens state that they are victimized by the constantly malfunctioning escalators and demand permanent solutions from the authorities. Such malfunctions, especially during rush hours, cause huge backlogs at the bus stop and prolonged waiting times.
