Reply To: May one use an escalator on shabbos?

DaasYochid: You keep on quoting Poskim who actually admit that there is no issur but only because of “zilzul Shabbos”. one should not use an elevator (or a train, as per “SHoeil Umeishiv”). Fine. You can follow that chumroh and no one will complain. However, “me-ikar hadin” there is no issur so let the people who do use Shabbos elevators or escalators follow their Rov’s practice.
