Subway escalators in a big city can be pretty long. Especially when compared to an average escalator in a mall or something

I don't know about the OP but the DC Metro system has some of the longest escalators in this hemisphere.
From LINK
quote:
This station features the longest set of single-span escalators in the Western Hemisphere, each featuring a length of 230 feet (70 m), with a vertical rise of 115 feet (35 m). It is the second deepest station in the system, behind Forest Glen, which has an elevator-only exit due to its depth. Wheaton's escalators travel at a speed of 90 feet (27 m) per minute (±5%) and are set at an inclination of 30 degrees. The trip takes approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds, though some commuters shorten the time by walking.

Metro/subway and airport escalators can be pretty long.
It's worse when fat fricks stop on the moving walkway in airports.
