How do you they know if the elevator is currently above them? Most elevators from my experience don't show the current floor they're on.

- rascul 4y agoIn my experiences, there's often an indicator above the elevator. Not always though, and I don't use elevators much.
- dosethree 4y agoA lot of buildings down have floors under floor #1 so its always above you
- kevincox 4y agoI've seen it fairly frequently in residential buildings in Toronto. Usually the main floor has a current floor indicator but often the other floors don't. Minor cost savings probably?
- hnlmorg 4y agoThis might be a regional thing but the only times I’ve ever seen a lift without an indicator has been in glass lifts.
- midoridensha 4y agoThe residential elevators here in Japan always show the floor the elevator is currently on. They also have a monitor showing who (or what) is inside the elevator car, so you're not surprised when the door opens. (The monitor isn't always on each floor though, but always on the ground floor.) They also have a "pet" button so dog owners can warn people they have an animal in the elevator.
