    Lol, elevator speed is a cost thing. Gotta keep those office grunts at their desks working(they also move a lot more people and if you get a fast elevator you cut down the number needed .

      To be fair it’s also a capacity thing. If an elevator goes more slowly it can carry more weight. People moving in/out of apartments might need to carry furniture, while usually office elevators just have to carry people.
