Toronto Pearson FAST Moving Walkway

- The Toronto Pearson International Airport has the only express walkways in the world. These are made by Thyssenkrupp and they have made an updated version for display and promotion.
In the beginning of the video it shows the walkway moving very slow to save energy when no one is using it. When I step on, the walkway speeds up to the operating speed.
ACCEL TurboTrack
Bart had me questioning my reality. I live in Toronto and been to these "escalators" often. Ttey weren't that fast but Bart said people are practically sprinting.
I think someone told me that there is a higher speed option which they don't use often because of potential accidents. This higher speed is faster than the one shown on this video.
Bart Simpson?
its not that fast bart
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only 1
Lol yup came to find out. Lyin ass
Hahaha ayyye what's up guys
I guess he was just checking out Jason's girlfriend
I see we came from the same place, LOL!
Just kidding news brought me here
sailoralphatomboy4 I was too busy checking out his girlfriend 😂😂😂
Cool! I live in Toronto and I've always wanted to go on that walkway but every time I've been there, it has been out of commission.
Wow, that is fast! I was at Philadelphia Airport and the amount of time it took you to travel that distance took there moving walkways half that distance.😸😸
I actually think the moving walkway was set in the “slow” setting when I was there. I think it has the capability to move much faster, but some people aren’t as steady of confident riding moving walkways. If it’s too fast, I think more people would lose their balance and fall.
I live North of Toronto, but I come here to travel. I’ve only been on this a few times, since it’s always shut down. But every few times I went on it, it was so much fun. Regardless of how my day was going, it cheered me up. I hope everyone who comes to the Pearson will get to experience this moving sidewalk. I’d totally recommend riding it if it’s open while you’re there.
I was so happy when I arrived in YYZ and saw that it was running! I ran to the end of the walkway (because I arrived from a different gate and didn't need to walk this corridor) and rode it! I wish I had gone for a second ride, but I didn't have the extra time...
I’ve never seen anyone reply to a comment I made 5 minutes after I made it. But they’re a real blast to ride
In Paris (France) there is a very long highspeed walkway running at 9 km/h (is about 5,5 miles/h): it is excisting already for more than 20 years between the subway and railway station "Gare Montparnasse".
O' That sounds / seems ...really nice
They removed it in 2009 because it caused injuries. Speed was 11km/h.
There WAS. It was suppressed because of elderly people falling and persistent technical issues. The Montparnasse walkways are back to their normal speed. It was a failure.
These things are AWESOME!!!
Bart was "just kidding"
The point of those is to walk and ride at the same time. You will literally walk faster than someone running.
Exactly, and if you have ever tried running on it you will probably easily beat the 100m sprint time
Ingenious! I've read that baby can more than triple it's speed!
Fast ??? Bart really was checking out the girl then or he was high
That's really cool
Really Bart??
I was expecting it to go light speed smh. Jknews fans wusup
so cool
Great video!
This is best alternative for town and country
That is very interesting 😮.
man i wanna run full speed down that
There used to be one in Paris (at Montparnasse - Bienvenüe) it was too confusing for people apparently.
Yes, I've visited that station to look at it. It was not operating but still there a few years ago.
It wasn't the same system, this one is very elaborate with differential speeds. The one at Montparnasse (suppressed) was more brutal, it was basically in one piece but going very fast.
I wanna run on it to feel like stim or octane or something like cmon just RUN MAN
I was literally shouting at the screen for him to RUNNNN
I live into Atlanta and I flew to Toronto not long ago and I used this thing I was kinda surprised what these were but I’ve seen these somewhere and looked back at this video the hallway is way too long which I’m glad they added this to solve the problem
Who’s here from Jknews? 🤣
Awesome Luke! Are you in Toronto? I live about an hour West. I think this is the only high speed moving walkway still operating in the world!
There are a few on various European airports
I have been to Toronto but never seen these walkways before
Cool
Those electric walkways should be everywhere lmao
It is neat but it can be very hard to walk on and it is somewhat dangerous because at the start and the end the floor plates tilts up and down. I've seen several people fall on it.
Travels With Bruce I lost my balance had to step to catch myself when taking this video and NOT holding on to the hand grips.
I love going to the gate on this express walkway.
Good video ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
I would call it more a 2 speed walkway
Normal & CRAW
Hi Luke. Could I use this footage in a video on Moving Walkways? I'm happy to link to channel in the description.
Big Car sure, thanks for asking!
@@Luke_Starkenburg Wonderful! Thanks!
@@Luke_Starkenburg Here's the video link. I've mentioned your channel in the description. Thanks again! ruclips.net/video/CMlLPgAL2h0/видео.html
Wow it"s a very long walkway!
Great invention, but how would it hold up in a mass transit application of continuous use with gum, hair and other debris falling into it? Ambulance chasers are another conern. NYCTA needed something like this for the Grand Central - Times Square shuttle, even creating and testing-in-service the first driverless metro train in 1962. They just threw up their hands and gave up and still run trains (with two person crew) every few minutes on the approx. 3000 foot run, same as in 1904.
trainluvr The only remaining thing is that the 7 will have two stops within one paid area, and a separate station in between. If sixth Ave is connected and they use two sets, one for the east and another for the west side of manhattan, then that’s 3 stations for the price of one. I would have Times Square be for trains to Hudson yards and NJ if extended, and the current grand central for trains going to queens. Although going in each direction it’ll be long gaps. It’ll be shortened if a 10th ave station is added.
What I am hearing from you is a very intelligent suggestion that a possible way for Grand Central (7 plat) to handle crush loads on the 7 during the peak is to have only Queens Bound trains stop at Grand Central and Hudson Yd bound trains only stop at Times Square. Fifth Avenue station would be provided access to the center of a two segment moving walkway system on the current shuttle tracks to bear the load of passengers bound for TS and GC in the non QUEENS-peak direction. Such extreme peaking of crowds might only occur if the 7 were extended across the Hudson River to a new new bus/rail transfer station, thus delivering packed trains every 2 minutes from BOTH directions to 42nd Street at the same time. Yes, it would be hard to clear the island platform of a deep tunnel station of over 1100 people arriving on average every minute (eleven car train unloading from each direction every two minutes).
trainluvr Okay, maybe instead it would be a better solution to close the flushing platforms on the sides of the Manhattan, and and just use 5th ave for both directions, in the center.
I am comfortable with only this walkway escalator.
It is not that fast actually……
But it is quiet interesting
I still dont figure out why the handle, walkway need to be separate 🤔
I think the moving walkway has two speeds, a really fast speed and a slower speed, and the day I was there it was slower. The walkway also slows down to a crawl when there are no people onboard.
They need to be seperate, because it is in two layers. The one that seperates is slow at the start, to let people get on easily and then they speed up seperatley and brake at the end. The bottom layer moves at a constant speed and is the part, that holds together the entire thing, fills the gaps AND the maximum speed of the walkway
@@Luke_Starkenburg It was going much faster when I was there. It was by far the FASTEST escalator i have ever been on. Actually why I went looking for this video.
Me: uhhhhh lets pick the fastest one to ever exsit
Has this been removed? It appears that maybe this walkalator has been covered up.
I’ve been to Toronto a few times, but where in the airport is this? Granted I’ve only ever been in terminal 1 so if it’s in terminal 3 that makes sense. Hopefully I’ll see this one day when I go back.
i ride this escalator before but is been a few years so i dont think that they are too often
I thought i was the only one coming from JK news
It would be cool to see this, on an escalator. It makes me think of peelle escalators.
I am going to Canada next year to Vancouver in may
Lauri Carlson Vancouver is a very beautiful city! Enjoy!
That seems to look a bit dangerous for the handrails to rest your hands on if you're not careful about it. Your skin will get caught easily and they will pinch you even furthermore!!
is that faster than someone walking forward on the other one?
Any idea which terminal this is in? Before or after security? In other words, how do I find it? :)
vptes1 this is in the international terminal where all the arriving passengers walk to get to customs. There are two wings, and each wing has one of these fast moving walkways. I arrived from a flight from the US and went out of my way to take this walkway. Some employees though I was lost and I explained to them that I wanted to ride this moving walkway. They were cool with it.
I once flew in from France and totally missed this walkway! Am now kicking myself. Fortunately I'm flying back to Toronto from the US in a few weeks and will hopefully spot it..
*OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOD OH MY GOOOOOD A HIGH SPEED ESCALATOR*
This is called the ThyssenKrupp ACCEL
Back to JKNews
Now I want to run on that
Are those moving walkways in the left side of the express walkway?
Who’s here from jknews
I'm here cuz of jk news
If only it could have been faster
I just went here and the whole moving walkway is behind a temporary wall. Sad…
Phoenix airport has them too
It's too bad this thing doesn't always work. I recenty came back from a vacation where it was entirely boarded up
I must have caught it on a lucky day!
Could this solve the climate problem and transportation for inner downtown area
Not really fast but the design is very cool
It can go faster than this, I think
I've heard through the grapevine that these have been removed.
I think there were 2 of these (not sure if they went down the same hallway, or if they were in different areas). Do you know if they are both removed?
literally Arizona has this🤦🏻♀️
Every airport I’ve been to has this
@@alexbrace5996 A high-speed moving sidewalk? This isn't a standard moving sidewalk, it actually accelerates you to high speed when you step on, then decelerates you before you step off. A normal moving sidewalk moves at a constant (slow) rate.
How can I make game room with this same technology but with omnidirectional gyroscopic floor of about square size of 800 m
Scared of holding on to the wrong part of the handrails
When this baby reaches 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit!
Minnesota, Washington, Chicago ect
M O no.
@@Luke_Starkenburg what do you mean no?, im saying those cause i have actually seen them with my eyes
M O watch the video closely. This is an express high speed moving walkway with plates that separate after you get on to speed up the pace of the walkway. The handles on the handrails also separate and speed up. This type of EXPRESS MOVING WALKWAY is only at the YYZ Airport.
There are tons of ordinary moving walkways, and many of them are faster than normal, but this express moving walkway is a new unique engineering marvel. I don’t see it catching on though because of risk of falling at higher speeds.
I know, im just saying I've seen thes3 exact moving sidewalks where ive said
toronto pearson international airport
thyssenkruup high speed moving walkway 0:03
Isn't Toronto in Canada?
How it work?
Magic
bruh schiphol airport in the netherlands has them too
😮😮
Standway/walkway?
Really pretend like elderly when there are none?
Is this still here? I heard it's removed.
Appears it has been covered up with a white box.
Still walk faster than that. How about 9 km/h?
1:22에스컬레이터 뒷쪽 시점
I wanna run on it
I met this thing
초고속에스컬이터아니야!?
나는 그것이 전통적인 움직이는 산책로의 두 배의 속도라고 생각한다.
I think it’s about double the speed of a traditional moving walkway.
why is it so slow
Someone told me that too many people were falling on it, so they reduced the speed of it.
Why.. human’s got legs
But those are no fun if you don't walk on them and go really fast
Quack
Its not the only one in the world, your actually very far off on that
M O where is there a similar fast moving walkway currently operating? The one at Gare Montparnasse in Paris is torn out. To my knowledge, this was the first installation of this type of moving walkway and is also the only other one in the world. But the one in Paris is closed, as I said above.
I gotta be honest. That doesn’t seem that fast.
its not even close to fast
i’ve been flying into and out of this airport for 3 years and i’ve never seen this open. not once. it’s always under “construction”
I guess I was lucky to see it working! I actually arrived down the hall from the moving walkway and instead of following the crowd down the escalator to customs, I stayed up and rode the moving walkway. I wish I would have stayed longer and rode it twice.
