Taller buildings with complex and highly trafficked elevators still do this only using electronics. Employees swipe their badges at a podium which reads what floor they work on and indicates which elevator they should proceed to. The system can intelligently schedule the elevator for that person to use knowing where their destination is.
- caf 11y agoI'm in a building with a mere nine floors that has such a system (the only buttons in the elevators themselves are door open, door close and alarm). I imagine that the technology will increasingly appear in the smaller buildings as their elevators are built or refurbished.

- caf 11y agoThere's touchscreens in the lift lobbies where you can select an override floor before scanning your pass.
- rodgerd 11y agoWhenever I use those sorts of lifts I find it very unsettling - it's interesting, because floor buttons vs external destination buttons give me no more control over the lift, but as a user I become very anxious when my mechanism for "driving" the lift is taken away.
