No, but having super-tight underwear apparently does.
I can't come up with any other reason why so many people who seem physically able to manage stairs would need to take the accessibility elevator.
Yes, I realize that not all disabilities are readily noticeable but the guy on the elevator with the rolling laptop bag probably can manage to carry it down the stairs.

For the record, I am guilty of super tight underwear and falling victim to "double-bum". It doesn't prevent me from taking the stairs, tho.
I have only used the elevator once. I had a large suitcase (yes it was on wheels but BIG). Had I tried to navigate down the stairs with it, I'd have likely tripped and taken a nasty tumble. Did I feel guilty? A little but personal safety won out.
Large bulky suitcases count because GO took out all the escalators (stupid move). Rolling laptop bags can be carried down the stairs!!!
There are non-visible issues that would certainly make someone want to take the stairs. Problesm with your heart of knees spring to midn. (Let's face it, the staircases are all steep and long.)
I'm okay with it as long as those "abled-bodies" let the ones truly in need go first (e.g. crutches, wheelchairs, canes, etc.). Unfortunately too often they push their way onto the elevator to leave those with no other option to wait for the next one where it all happens again.
CJ did point that out. Not all disabilities are readily noticeable.
@Bicky. Good point. Post has been edited to address rolling laptop bags.
@Kevin. Did GO ever give a reason why escalators were removed?
@Tom. Point was noted.
IIRC, the escalators at TUS were eventually removed as a safety precaution, after one went postal and randomly sped up injuring some passengers on it.
And elevators can't malfunction? Ever?
Being lazy is apparently a disability as I'm pretty sure that's the problem with most of the people who use those elevators. I don't mind people with luggage using elevators in my experience it the lazy and sorry, mostly fat people, who use those elevators.
I never use the elevator. I love to sweat, and climb the 40 plus steps on track 26/27. Lol!
The elevator should be specific for the elderly, families with small children and strollers, and people with disabilities.
Lazy fat asses should should take the stairs!
Laziness is surely the main motivator. These are the same people that park in front of a store when there are tons of actual parking spaces.
Notice they're all women... there's your answer.
I hate myself for using the elevators to go up sometimes, but I can get a blinding migraine with stroke-like symptoms, climbing a tall staircase. Even at home. I don't use them if there are lots of people around, and I never use them to go down.
@kevin...GO took out the escalators because dumb people stopped at the bottom of the escalators and caused mayhem resulting in people getting injured due to a chain reaction.Don't hate GO, hate dumbos who don't know how to use an escalator. "this is why we can't have nice things"
I'm guilty of using the elevator on weekends in the evening after work. I've usually been on my feet for the past 8 hours and have to sprint to the bus terminal..I am able to catch my breath in the 10 seconds that I'm in there...But that's the only time I use it
Ladies, ladies, ladies - make a visit to thong-world and you will never go back granny-panty-land.
