I came across this phrase in a story book:

> エスカレーターを乗りつぐ

It puzzled me because I thought 乗りつぐ meant 'to connect with (flight/train
etc)'. Is this the normal way to talk about getting on/riding an escalator? If
not, what nuance does it convey and what would be a more typical verb to use?

How to ride an escalator
People usually say エスカレーターに乗る, エスカレーターで8階まで上がる, etc.

エスカレーターを乗り継ぐ is not common, but it would be accepted if one wants to
explicitly say (for whatever reason) riding several escalators in succession.

> エスカレーターを乗り継いで1階から8階まで上がる  
>  (cf. 電車を乗り継いで東京から九州まで行く)
