Okay, now I understand it. Few people use the walking side, so telling
would-be standees that they have to stand on the right practically
halves the capacity. But when the escalators are quiet it's quicker to
allow people to walk, so I hope standing on both sides becomes a peak
hour rule rather than an all-day one.
