Do they have a parallel set of stairs next to them? That usually seems to limit crowding, since the bigger the queue for the escalator gets, the more likely newcomers are to just take the stairs instead of join the escalator queue.

Given the age of the system in many stations there is room for only two escalators. Further older stations are very deep resulting in extremely long sets of stairs.
