Stroller is the word you were looking for for baby cart. I hate when I can’t think of a word, it pisses me off until I look it up or somehow remember and I can’t focus on anything else.
I’ve seen these sorts of things at subway exits/entrances in airports, where you have carts for moving lots of bags at once. There might also be shops nearby with shopping carts that people have tried to take on the escalator in the past.
I’m not Korean(perhaps someone familiar with the place might be able to offer more insight), just offering some possibilities, but it’s difficult to know without more context.
I was about to say, they put a giant pole in the middle, no one who is fat will enjoy fitting through that and some even fatter people will never fit lmao
But then they put a pole in the middle of the escalator access. LOL.
The pole is to prevent people from taking carts and similar objects up and potentially causing an accident
Though it does have unintended consequences
Why do people have carts on the subway?
Not necessarily carts like the ones you see in shopping malls, but it’s also for things that would not be safe on the escalators like:
Accidentally letting them go would be dangerous.

Or parambulator if you’re still trying to meet your daily syllable count
its not for the subway, its for the elevator. Its dangerous to have carts on elevator

In Korea, the left of the escalator is for walking, the right is for standing.
(They have signs saying “no walking” but that’s what the divider is for; to double the capacity)
Same in Austria, and I’m pretty sure also in Germany
Yeah, we do that in America sometimes too. Most people ignore it, just like on the highway.
