Abstract: The invention relates to a passenger transport system (1) in the form of an escalator (3) or a moving walkway and to a method for operating same. The passenger transport system has a transition region (5) in which a movable transport belt (7) adjoins a stationary floor plate (11) provided with a comb plate (9). The passenger transport system (1) additionally has an object detection device (13) for detecting objects (15) in a monitoring volume (17). The monitoring volume (17) is located in the transition region (5) at a defined vertical distance (DH) from a tread surface plane (19) and above same, and the object detection device (13) is configured and arranged on the passenger transport system (1) so as to monitor the monitoring volume (17) contactlessly and three-dimensionally with respect to a position and an extent of at least one object (15) located therein and to exclude surrounding adjacent volumes (27) outside the monitoring volume (17) from the monitoring. In this way, monitoring of the transition region of the passenger transport system can be simplified.
