I just don't understand why. From a mechanical/electrical engineering perspective, you're spending all this money to install something there. A device which ferries individuals up and down on a flat surface, and sure, you want to cut some corners to shave the price down. So you cut the mechanism to run the motor for a set time between levels...
But you're not losing the required safety mechanisms to determine the doors shouldn't open if it's in between levels, the ability the determine if it's on a level at all, etc, so you've chosen something seemingly minor to cut by having to hold the button for forever, thereby inconveniencing or straight up excluding someone who's mobility issues might extend beyond just their legs. So...why PATH contractors? It just seems like a jerk move with little gain you know?
