The drive system includes: chain wheels connectable to the drive; and chains engaging the chain wheels hingeable in lateral edge areas of the steps, the chains being disposed parallel to one another, each of the chains comprising interior and exterior brackets. The drive system further includes shaft sections disposed adjacent corresponding ones of the brackets and further being adapted to be disposed at respective edge areas of each step; rollers connected to respective ends of each of the shaft sections, each of the shaft sections projecting through a corresponding one of the rollers and being fixed, at a face end thereof, in a wall area of a corresponding one of the interior brackets which is adapted to face outer frame areas of the frame; and traction rollers placed at a distance from the rollers. Bushings are respectively disposed at both end sections of the brackets.
