An escalator includes movable step segments. Each step segment includes a rectangular step plate with a constant height, a tread, and four corners. The tread of each step segment is in a horizontal position during a front transport movement and in an oblique position during a rear return movement. Four wheels which include two front wheels and two rear wheels are assigned to each step segment, with one wheel being mounted at each of the four corners. Two endless transport chains transport the two front wheels at a front transport section. Two first tracks have the two rear wheels run thereon without being attached to any of the two endless transport chains. Two rear second transport tracks are arranged in a rear return transport section. The two rear second transport tracks transport each step segment back with the tread in an oblique position via the two endless transport chains.
