Conveyor transport

Conveyor transport is the broad category of transport that includes modes developed from the idea of a conveyor belt. Examples include:

• Conveyor belt
• Escalator
• Moving sidewalk (moving walkway, travelator), including the inclined moving sidewalk (moving ramp)

In Hong Kong, tens of thousands of commuters travel each work day between the Central District (a financial district) and the Mid-levels (a residential district hundreds of feet up Victoria Peak) using a long distance escalator/moving sidewalk combination. It goes only one way at a time; the direction reverses depending on rush hour traffic direction. See Central-Mid-Levels escalator and Transportation in Hong Kong. It is also used at the interchange stations at Central-Hong Kong MTR stations, and Tsim Sha Tsui-East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR and East Rail stations.
