Travelator is not for wheel chair.
We must show our own consideration first.
This is a public area.
I always used lift.
If accident happens on travelator, what will you do? Say sorry… Safety first.
Dont make this to be a norm.
Unlike those at the airport, the travellators in MRT stations are on a flat surface. They just help you get from point A to B using less leg power, not from 1 floor level to the next hence the usage of lifts here is moot. If wheelchairs are banned on travellators for whatever reason, they should put a sign at the entrance to inform us. Otherwise boh salah. Of course it is more considerate and faster to move along with the conveyer, but there are no rules that forbid the user from simply standing on it and allowing the travellator to carry them from 1 pt to another..

As long as the speed is not too fast for non raised type travelator, then it is fine for wheel chair to use. But need to put up signage to inform and warn travelator users.

Wheelchair users and their caregivers should take the lift !
Others, even elderly folks, waiting for the lift should give priority to them (but not necessarily for their other family and friends accompanying them ), regardless of who arrived first.
Dun think that is the covention lah. Lifts are for those who cannot take the escalator [some elderlies feel giddy cannot use escalator]. It is a case of 1st come 1st serve [even able-bodied users oso no give priority to wheelchairs].

Escalator is only for going up or down but Travelators are for horizontal long distance. I guess due to some poor planning between Bugis blue and green lines, after taking the escalator need a 5 mins walk.

As you have mentioned , it is a public area so anyone can have access to use it. Unless the is a sign saying it is prohibited for wheelchairs to be on it.
tomorrow will be a better day

Changi Airport has many wheel- luggage and bag trolleys on flat travelator for many years. Toddlers ride on their kiddy wheel luggage on the travelator, too. I doubt it is for safety reasons that this is not allowed in Singapore.
