In the method the travelator or moving ramp is stopped and closed to traffic. The end module requiring servicing is detached from the center module (2) . Then a new or serviced end module (3', 4') is connected to the center module (2) . The end module (3, 4) requiring servicing is transported away from the travelator or moving ramp for servicing at the servicing site. The travelator or moving ramp is started and opened to traffic .
