Personally I would like to see the elevator treated in a similar fashion as the subway. A few seconds to move but you could potentially meet people in your current abode. Maybe a way to track where elevator stopped and follow the timing etc. Of course there would actually be a ride as well to reach your floor instead of magically appearing there. Doors would close after say 3 seconds. Not sure if this is workable or even if the community would want this. Personally I'd love a chance to run randomly into a person in the elevator and start up a very short "Hi how are you?" conversation.
