Yes but there are also accessibility concerns. These are public spaces, and at least in the US there are laws about public accessibility. How would someone on crutches, or in a wheelchair, or with a service dog, use such a thing? I assume that they aren’t the only option available in the building.
- dpark 9y agoAccessibility isn’t always as guaranteed as people like to imagine. Lots of buildings have no accessibility today even in the US. Buildings with this sort of elevator are probably grandfathered out of accessibility requirements just like buildings without elevators.

A paternoster can transport at least 12 people per minute (depending on the speed of course) per direction from any floor to any floor, more if their travel paths don't overlap or people ignore the "max two people per cab" sign.
