I've been living in North America for decades. Every building has G (zero). This is the floor that you walk into and has a lobby. The next floor up is 1 as such is labeled in the elevator.
So your initial assumption is incorrect from my experience.
- jwarden 4y agoWhat city are you in, out of curiosity?
- systemvoltage 4y agoSF Bay Area (currently), but have lived in several major metro areas.
- silisili 4y agoThis is not my experience in the US. Most places either have G or 1 for the first floor. Then 2 for the next. So some elevators say G, then 2, 3, and so on. I've seen setups like you mention, but they definitely aren't the majority in places I've lived.
- systemvoltage 4y agoI'll have to look actively next time I ride an elevator, this is just from my recollection.
- Miiko 4y agoA lot of elevators in US do indeed have G for the ground floor, but that's because they are made by ThyssenKrupp AG, a German company ;).
