Escalator

Faster than stairs, but needs upkeep.

Escalator provides a faster way to move people between floors than stairs, but requires power and has maintenance cost.

They are best for short connections rather than a tower-wide route.

When placed across a two-story room or two-story wallpaper, the escalator will span three floors instead of the usual 2.

-Escalators are local vertical transport with 1 idle and 8 active power use. They are best for short connections rather than a tower-wide route.
-== Tall openings ==
-When placed across a two-story room or two-story wallpaper, the tool selects the taller escalator variant. It costs {{Game Money|cost=100000}} to build and {{Game Money|cost=500}} per day to maintain, uses 2 idle or 16 active power, and takes 10 in-game minutes to traverse.
-== Strategy ==
-Use Escalators to join adjacent high-traffic floors—such as related shops or a lobby cluster—while relying on elevators for longer travel. They can relieve queues locally but do not replace a planned vertical transport spine.
