    It’s pretty suspicious that going up 2 floors in an apartment building takes as long as going up 10 floors in an office building.

      Lol, elevator speed is a cost thing. Gotta keep those office grunts at their desks working(they also move a lot more people and if you get a fast elevator you cut down the number needed .

        To be fair it’s also a capacity thing. If an elevator goes more slowly it can carry more weight. People moving in/out of apartments might need to carry furniture, while usually office elevators just have to carry people.

          Partly true. People weigh a LOT and I mean a LOT for the amount of space they take up in the elevator.

            I’ll have you know, I’ve been losing weight, so don’t lump me in with those people.
