Editing Central–Mid-Levels escalator (section)

=== Daily patronage ===
The Transport Department conducted patronage surveys for the entire system in 2005 and 2010. In 2005, the system saw about 54,000 daily pedestrian trips. This grew to 85,000 trips in 2010. The department noted that the escalator has relieved demand for public transport, but has not led to many motorists giving up driving or reduced traffic congestion, in line with the traffic planning principle of [[induced demand]].<ref name="legco">{{cite web|url=http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201512/16/P201512160340.htm|title=LCQ10: Hillside escalator links and elevator systems|date=16 December 2015|publisher=Legislative Council}}</ref>
