Why can't they get escalator hand rails to go the same speed as the steps?

It seems the steps are always slower than the hand rail. Surely with all the technology available they could accomplish this!

only in a perfect world...

I don't know where you are, but all the escalators I've ridden on work just fine.

sure they could, all it takes is to co-ordinate the speed of the steps with the handrails and it's all in the handrail gearing.
