My apartment's elevator is horribly slow (5 secs per floor), and they've been increasing the timer for when the door actually starts closing by a second every year (right now it's 10 seconds... GAH!). I live on the 1st floor but NEED IT to get to the laundry room because there are NO STAIRS below the 1st floor!!
However my dorm building in Albany, an absolute DREAM. 3 elevators, homing on B, 6 or 19, 13 (the floor above mine). Moves at a swift speed of 1 floor every 1.5 seconds from B,M,1 to 21. Transfer to stairs to get to 22nd floor penthouse. Door closes instantly after pressing ANY BUTTON, and after 2 minutes of door holding the sensor shuts off and the door attempts to crush anything in it's path while beeping like a banshee.
And of the 3 elevators in my building, all have different "features" that work and don't work. #1 has a working digital sign floor indicator and bell when passing each floor, #2 has a floor arrival chime and directional arrow (both in the down direction only), 3 has the floor arrival chime working in both directions (different timing, instantly for up and after 3 secs for down) as well as the bell for passing each floor. So #1 was easy to tell what floor you're on, #3 you could tell by counting dings, and #2 you needed a psychic as no bell and the digital sign shows a random patterns of dots.
Without the subway I needed an outlet for my nitpicking at differences, the elevators were perfect.
