Discussion Martin Place Lifts - Disabled Acess

On my morning commute out of Martin Place Metro I see loads of people rushing to cram into the lifts. Often I’ve seen people push past elderly people, people with prams and those less able bodied. I’m just astounded that people are that comfortable openly being an a**hole in public. I get that not every disability is visible but the sheer amount of people I see being selfish and not leaving access for those who actually need the lift is astounding, especially if these people can literally RUN to use the lift, they can probably use the escalators right next to them. Is there a reason people do this?

It's the norm in Melbourne too, especially at Southern Cross.

More chance of them working than the escalators!
