   I feel like most cases of wait times are due to elevators "waiting" empty in the wrong floor. They either all wait in the bottom floor, or all wait where they were last left at. Would be better if their waiting floors were distributed throughout the floors so that first response is fast.

      Yes! I always thought that, when unused, elevators should distribute themselves along the floors, weighted by the floors that use them the most.
