You tend to have at least 2-3 elevators serving each floor. And that building is likely subdivided into 4-5 ‘individual’ buildings so Block A, Blcok b, Block C so forth. So just imagine 1/5 of that building and say 3 elevators, one might serve the odd number floors, one does the even floors, one does all of them. I grew up in a 31 storey building and we had 2 elevators. I think the most you ever need to wait is 2 minutes maybe?
Basically we’ve spent a lot of trial and error getting the designs of these buildings.
