Stairs

Stairs:
While elevators are, out of necessity, the primary method of vertical travel, it can sometimes be tedious waiting for an elevator going the proper direction. To this end in the skyscrapers there is a combination of elevators and stairs. Stairs are generally used when residents want to travel from one floor to another, being faster than elevators for that purpose, and some of these stairs are quite large. Smaller bridges than those between Levels connect different floors in different buildings, and in certain buildings there are atrium-like halls with high ceilings and balconies, where stairs are also used. However, there is the basic tenet of skyscraper architecture that elevators are necessary past a few floors; the advent of the reliable and safe elevator was what enabled skyscraper construction in the first place. Level to level transport has to take place primarily via elevators, unless one happened to be on the top or bottom floor of the level.
