It seems to be so easy to implement and everybody knows the problem: you take an elevator, you click the wrong floor and now you have to wait awkwardly on the wrong floor for the doors to close again.

I saw a clip once showing that if you double pushed the button it canceled the floor… Maybe that’s not all elevators though
Now instead of in car select buttons we have a panel in the elevator lobby where you have to select your floor before you get on. Hope you didn’t press the wrong floor or you have to select the right floor and then wait longer until the car you want arrives. Also once you get in the car you can’t change your mind.

Press the button again, it usually cancels the floor. At least, the elevators here in Vietnam do that

Elevators often have a max number of buttons you can push. If you push too many, they’ll all deselect. I used to work in an office building that was 7 or 8 stories but the max number of floors you could select on the elevator was 5. Every morning, people would get on the elevator and someone would inevitably push one too many buttons and everybody would sigh and say, “don’t push your button yet!”
It’s because of user behavior. Users get into the elevator and hit their floor button (or hit the “Up” button outside) somewhat reflexively. If we used the button as a toggle, that floor would often get turned off by a second user. This would provide a worse user experience. There is no cost or technical difficulty in making the button a toggle, it would just suck for the riders.
