The disclosure relates to a passenger transport system in the form of an escalator or a moving walkway. The system can include a stationary access region, a transport belt made up of a plurality of tread units, a transition region in which combing structures of the transport belt adjoin static comb structures of the access region, and an illuminating device having at least one light source for emitting light in the visible spectrum. The illuminating device can be configured such that at least a first portion of the light emitted is focused to predominantly illuminate an elongate transition surface which includes the transition region.

Disclosed are a safety apparatus for an escalator and an escalator. The safety apparatus is disposed on the skirt of the escalator, the safety apparatus includes a one-piece profile which comprises a rear wall, an upper portion at an upper end of the rear wall, and a lower portion at a lower end of the rear wall, wherein a plurality of sensor holes are provided on the rear wall, and the safety apparatus further comprises an illumination device, a skirt brush, and a plurality of photoelectric sensors, wherein the illumination device is disposed on the profile and emits illumination light toward the step side, wherein the skirt brush is disposed on the lower portion, and wherein the plurality of photoelectric sensors are mounted to be respectively aligned with the plurality of sensor holes so as to emit and/or receive optical signals through the plurality of sensor holes.

In a passenger conveyor balustrade apparatus, a lighting box includes: a ceiling portion; and a pair of side surface portions that protrude downward from the ceiling portion so as to face each other, an opening being disposed on a lower portion of the lighting box. A lighting holder that holds a lighting appliance is mounted inside the lighting box. The lighting holder has an elastically deforming portion. The lighting holder is held inside the lighting box by being pressed against the pair of side surface portions by elastically deforming the elastically deforming portion.
