Technically they are like a train but vertical

funiculars are basically just long sloped elevators and they are considered public transport, so are cable cars which are basically just suspended inclined elevators, so no reason to argue otherwise.

Elevator autists operate on a whole different level. Trainspotters are one thing, but those dudes who go film elevators scare me

Hotel NH Prague City has an elevator that's actually a funicular that will take you to the top of the hill where the restaurant is located.
Just stroll into the hotel like you belong and enjoy the ride to the top.

I like elevators. I work in a 12 story building that was built in the 70’s. Sometimes the elevator shakes and rattles a little and it makes visitors and women nervous, or at least comment on it. One old guy who’s been there forever told me it used to be faster but they had to slow it down in like the 90’s or early 00’s. One of my coworkers swears the elevator goes faster if you press the floor number and door close at the same time, but I still can’t tell if he’s right or not.

that's one thing i really remember about bilbao, loads of outside public elevators that take you around the city

there was also a sloped one that was pretty funky - pic related, it just took you down a small hill, not even that steep

Another form of public transport. Look here OP.

For me, it's the Wonkavator

What are the safety measures for the down elevator? Seems so easy to get a food/object stuck

There are none, good luck if you get stuck

You gotta think the tube system would have problems.

But it's a cartoon parody meant to be ridiculous, so idk.

NFW that can be made safe.

>>2028010
There's YouTube channels dedicated to showing them and the button layouts.

Like those annoying rotating doors they could stop when somethig is detected where nothing should be.

What do y'all get out of elevators serious question? I understand if it's a particularly ornate one with an interesting design to it but your average mall elevator just seems so nondescript and uninteresting to me.
