The invention relates to a method for transporting passengers on a travelator, and to a travelator. The comprises: a plurality of successive conveyors arranged to form (a) an acceleration section, which includes successive conveyors having constant speeds stepwise increasing in the transport direction for accelerating a passenger transport speed from a substantially slow initial speed to an increased transport speed, (b) a constant-speed section containing at least one conveyor having a constant passenger transport speed, and (c) a deceleration section containing successive conveyors having constant speeds stepwise decreasing in the transport direction for decelerating the passenger transport speed from the constant transport speed to a decelerated final speed. The speeds of the conveyors in the acceleration section and the deceleration section are adapted so that the average acceleration experienced by the passenger over the entire length of the acceleration and deceleration sections is constant. Adjacent successive conveyors in the acceleration and deceleration sections include a common diverting element having a speed change point at which the speeds of the adjacent successive conveyors are different in the transport direction.
