Riding the very nice and fast elevators for a retake at the Munich Re Centre in Downtown Toronto, ON. The elevator that I was on was the service elevator for the High-Rise floors and also floor 10 is a crossover floor. And another cool thing is that these elevators are going under modernization by Schindler! Ill go back in late December to see what they look like after modernization! These elevators are the smoothest ones I have ever been on!
