Reply to comment by pixel_of_moral_decay in Accessibility lifts at the grove street path are absurdly bad by FoamythePuppy

I don't know about that...why is it like the worst new elevator in North America then? Also Port Authority's elevator game seems fine in WTC and Harrison where they actually care. They spent 7 and a half years trying to fight it, and it's basically an open secret that they did the shoddiest job possible. Even that 3 year deadline to build it that they promised wasn't met, and Fulop had to publicly call out that there are literally entire high rises that were being built faster than this elevator.

Then find the places where they cut corners. Actual documentation vs conspiracy theory crap. I know you won’t (because it doesn’t exist), but if your claims were real you would have.

That’s not how elevators work. There’s a handful of models, you collect a few bids since each vendor has 1-2 and pick your floor color. That’s really all there is to it. You have more choices in iPhones than elevators.

These aren’t custom implementations. That’s not a thing. There’s no corners to cut outside of some decorative trim pieces and flooring material. You get what’s offered. Then the city inspects and approves it once installed.

Uhh, how about having to hold the button down to go up and down? Where is the conspiracy in that, you can go and literally try it out right now. Is there a single other elevator you've ever used that requires that? It is absolutely absurd to try to convince people to believe that is considered "standard" functionality anywhere in the modern world. Who knows if it's a cut corner, maybe it even cost them EXTRA to spite us.
