This fun way of getting people to use the stairs not the escalator is simple but brilliantly effective
Here’s a fabulous way of encouraging people to use the escalator instead of the stairs.
It’s Odenplan station in Stockholm and it’s simple but very effective. Well, the idea’s simple – a bit more complicated in practice, we imagine.
It went viral after it was shared by @buitengebieden_ over on Twitter.

This is awesome and not surprising it's in Stockholm. Back in the before COVID times, when I traveled a lot more, Stockholm had the most unique and coolest subway stops around.
Brilliant idea.

There was also this.
Spare a thought for anyone who had to work within earshot.

And it may have ended on a bit of a bum note.
Fun fact: researchers found the effect of the musical stairs wears off after a couple of weeks, so they then pick up the whole thing and move it to another subway station.
