Abstract
The disclosure relates to a passenger transport system which is designed as a moving walkway or escalator. The passenger transport system has two access regions and a conveyance region, each of the two access regions having a walking-accessible surface. At least one of the walking-accessible regions is provided with a guide device for guiding and channeling users with different needs, wherein the guide device comprises tactile elements whose planar arrangement in the access region divides the walking-accessible surface into a first corridor with tactile elements and a second corridor without tactile elements. The two corridors are arranged next to each other and extend over the walking-accessible surface in a direction of conveyance of the passenger transport system.
