Airport floor escalator
A moving sidewalk is a flat conveyor belt for pedestrians, typically found in airports and train stations to help travelers cover long distances without walking.
Unlike escalators, moving sidewalks are horizontal or only slightly inclined.
Also called a moving walkway or travelator.
