Abstract

A passenger conveyor includes a platform floor having a slanting portion. A length of the slanting portion is not less than a length of each of treadboards of the passenger conveyor, and at least one of the treadboards of an advance side, when passing under the platform floor, is disposed horizontally beneath the slanting portion. With this arrangement, a push cart or the like can be smoothly moved from the treadboard to the platform floor.
