Wheelchair Escalator

I take NJ Transit to Penn often and usually take the stairs/escalators onto 7th ave. I'll be traveling with someone in a wheelchair and it just dawned on me as much as I know Penn is fully accessible, I don't know where the street exits are for this purpose? Obviously I can just ask and follow the signs when we get there, but my friend isn't used to traveling via mass transit and would like to have everything all planned out ahead of time. Thanks!

You could also ask bus driver, Long Island Railroad, or New Jersey Transit employee or subway employees for New Jersey Transit accessible station.
I think it will be around 33rd St bet. 7th & 8th Avs I think.

How come I always see people taking strollers on escalators with their infants/children in them when there are signs two or three places stating that it is not permitted? I could understand if all those people where illiterate or the signs were only in one language but the signs show pictures as warnings. I never see people trying to push up wheelchairs with someone in them mostly only strollers. I just don't understand it with all the people that die in escalators and the children that get killed or injured from the parents constantly doing exactly this why do they still insist on trying it and "hoping for the best" especially when there is an elevator a few steps away. It just doesn't seem like something I would take a chance on, even if it wasn't for all of the people that get shredded in the escalators but for the signs alone, obviously they have the sign for just that reason, I just don't understand how so many people can do something so harmful.
Sorry to go on, it's just that I have seen the effects of what happened to a few people personally and have witnessed a few "incidents" and it really bothers me how people continue to keep on doing it.

Because everyone is in a hurry to get where they're going, they don't pay any attention to the dangers they may put them or their children in.

We would be leaving from Mercer County and going to see A Steady Rain at the Schoenfeld Theatre. The woman in question is mobile and can walk, but not for long distances, can't handle too many stairs, and I don't think she'd handle an escalator, either. She strongly prefers not to use a wheelchair. Driving isn't an option. So - can anyone give me advice as to public transportation, either train or bus, that would make this trip as easy as possible for her? Thanks so much.

NJ Transit is handicapped equiped. Check with the princeton station if the trains are accessible by the handicap, which I am sure they are. NYC Penn Station has elevators.
