Saving time by using elevator instead of stairs?

Skipping elevator and still saving time?


Is it possible? Yes, but only if you're lucky.. in general no. Why whould then one use stairs when elevator is avalable?

Last time i decided to descend on stairs, it was only one floor below i stop a lady entering the elevator and i "joined" This way we both saved time that would took elevator to pick me up one floor above (if it would even go to pick me up)



If you descend on stair you keep elevator empty for others (like you). It's easer to descend because gravitation helps you!
If you spot elevator on your path you can enter with zero (stressful?) waiting.
Efficiency of Combined Stair&Elevator descending can be mathematicaly analized, but why not just stick to senses..

Warning:don't ride stairs with downhill bike
