Escalator is part of 2D Tower. Faster than stairs, but needs upkeep.
== Overview ==
* Construction cost: {{Game Money|cost=50000}}
* Maintenance: {{Game Money|cost=250}} per day

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


{{Navbox Transports}}\n\n== How it works ==
They are best for short connections rather than a tower-wide route.
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 escalators ==
When placed across a two-story room or two-story wallpaper, the escalator will span three floors instead of the usual 2.


== Strategy ==
{{Navbox Transports}}
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.
