Mid-Levels Escalator

Does anyone know if there is a website that lists or shows all the 'exits' off the mid-levels escalator?

Yeah even the longest ones (the travelators near Western Market) are only about 60 metres long with exits at the end. You've been to Hong Kong right? Its not really 'the worlds longest escalator' but a series of about 18 smaller ones so you can get on / off easily.

Does make life way too easy if you live up that way though... fifteen minutes to work does the trick and does away with paying for cabs, trains, buses and stuff.

Downhill 6am - 10am. Uphill 10am - midnight. They change gradually... the guys start at the top and change the direction one by one as they work their way down (or up in the afternoons).

I preferred getting a minibus/taxi in than using the escalator in the Hong Kong summers.

Have you seen the hoards of people waiting on Hollywood road in the mornings for the escalator to switch directions?

Sort of gives you a perspective of what the working class in Mid Levels is like .... going both ways.
