Reply to comment by OneFootTitan in A curved escalator in Japan by SteveSilva

No. We had about 500 Escalators under contract. Zero were curved. Not common.

I didn't choose my words well - not common as in they are everywhere, but "not *that* surprising to see" (from my perspective coming from Singapore previously), so mildly interesting is the right way to describe it. I do love the curved escalators though!

Location is extremely relevant. I was referring to escalators in Los Angeles (didn't clarify either). Currently Mitsubishi is the only manufacturer of curved escalators. Assuming they have a stronger presence in Singapore. Mitsubishi is trying to establish construction of more units in the US, still low compared to Otis, Kone, Thyssen, Schindler etc.. Thank you for elaborating.
