I wanna see you deal with a paternoster lift if you haven't been in one yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift
Imagine a constantly moving elevator without doors. Kind of like an escalator but you damn well better hope you don't trip.
That thing looks hellish. As if I wasn't already irrationally afraid of being beheaded in an elevator or something.
They can be a bit ... exciting the first couple of times. We've got a couple of surviving examples around here but they're getting fewer and fewer. Once you get the hang of it they are quite efficient, certainly more so than regular elevators.
