176 Steps to the Top
176 steps to the top It is quicker to wait for the lifts, which run every few minutes. DO NOT use the stairs except in an emergency This station is 15 floors below ground
A subway station sign points toward the stairs while another sign says there are 176 steps to the top and warns passengers not to use them except in an emergency. The joke is the absurd contrast between the tempting stair direction and the comically deep station, making this useful as a reaction to an unnecessarily difficult or inconvenient situation.
