Now the 12,000 residents of one of the poorest neighborhoods of Colombian city of Medellin can shorten their 35-minute hike on foot up the hillside to 6 minutes. How is it possible? Go inside this post to find out.
Officials in Medellin inaugurated a giant, outdoor escalator worth $6.7 million. The electric stairway is divided into six sections and has a length of 384 meters (1,260 feet). It is free to use.

When someone gets hurt using the escalator, some sleazy lawyer will sue the local government, the escalator designers, the installers, and the people that own the land it sits on.
New regulations will be formed requiring proper usage signage be posted every 20 feet, free training on escalator use be available to all, and everyone that uses it will be forced to sign a liability waiver.
They will all be 'americanized' within a year.
this type of population is going to try to steal part from the escalator , and in a few week , it's going to be OFF and never to be turned on again
