@studyphp There were practically dozens of elevator companies years ago, and a handful of really good ones, and those are the models that stood out. Like Otis. However, most building owners think that they look too old now, so they're trying to "spruce" them up. Now there are only 3 or 4 companies out there that refurbish the old elevators, and that's why they all look just about the same now.
@myotismon767 I have a bunch of retakes, and the best I could get was a solo ride up, but a loud kid riding back down. I'll go back and hopefully get a solo ride next time. I remember they used to have a control panel outside on the 1st floor, not sure if it still works though.
@Balarick RC is Rez-de-Chaussee which translates to the Ground Floor, and SS is Sous-Sol which translates to Basement. Some of the buttons I could push down on, but I didn't need to, I just hovered my finger over the button and it lit up. The directory was useful since it shows what floor has the restaurants, and washrooms and what is sold on each floor. I'll try to get a closer up view of those indicators when I go back.
@BusBoyCRHS I was really disappointed though that I got hurt and missed finishing my Magnetic Card series at the metro stations. But I got a few of the remaining stations atleast!
@g4tech It appears that they modernized some of them to be push buttons, but those still work both ways, you can hover your finger over the button and it works, or you can push down the button and it works too!
someone loves his elevators

@studyphp Mostly just the old ones, they are all so unique and stylish. The new ones all seem to look the same.

@MysticMTL I agree. Is there a reason why they all look alike?

Very nice elevators. I wanted to film these but they were always too busy.

@BusBoyCRHS Thanks. Check out some of my other elevator videos as well, and my last of the magnetic cards series. They have vocal backing.

I saw them already. I like the Longueuil metro one (since I always go there)!
