Escalator

Two escalators run side by side, one up and one down. Both move at the rate of 60 steps per minute. As I go up I pass 60 people coming down. It's a busy time. I notice every step is occupied by one person for the whole time and nobody is walking up or down.  How long was I on the escalator?
