The world's longest escalator and moving walkway system is Hong Kong's Central Hillside Escalator Link. The 800-m (2624-ft) long covered route carries commuters between the Mid-Levels district and Central Market close to the waterfront on Hong Kong Island. With a vertical travel of 135 metres (443 ft), the journey takes about 20 minutes and, to help commuters, moves downhill earlier in the morning, and then uphill for the rest of the day. Daily traffic exceeds 55,000 people.
