I've not been to 2169, but freight elevators typically have an up  
button and a down button inside the cab. The elevator moves as long as  
you hold the button. The doors are often manually operated. Aligning  
the elevator with the floor is your responsibility, as is opening and  
closing the door, though there is usually a safety interlock that  
prevents the elevator from moving if a door is open. Otherwise you are  
presumed to know what you're doing.

They can be a good place to take a date.
