An escalator, having a pair of balustrades disposed on both sides of traveling steps, includes a balustrade end, a skirt end portion, and an indicator. The balustrade end is configured to turn back a handrail belt wound around each of the balustrades. The skirt end portion has a belt entrance port configured to receive the handrail belt, and an outer edge of the skirt end portion furthest away from the traveling steps extends further in an axial direction of the traveling steps than an inner edge of the skirt end portion closest to the traveling steps to guide items towards the traveling steps. The indicator is configured to indicate operating conditions of the escalator. A front face of the skirt end portion includes an inclined surface at a predetermined angle with a vertical plane. A display face of the indicator conforms to the inclination of the inclined surface.
