BART now discourages "stand right, walk left" because it leads to "'uneven wear' on the escalator's gears, which can lead to more breakdowns and need for repair."

Maintenance problems aside, I'm usually surprised at how consistently people follow the stand-right "rule." Typically, everyone ahead of me followed it in my experience with BART.
