Why elevators have mirrors in them?

1.16K views

Almost every elevator I’ve been in has a mirror inside. Exceptions are paternoster or technical elevators.

Does it reduce claustrophobia? Does it make the space look bigger? Does it entertain passengers?

The reason i was actually told last week by a uni professor. It’s to make waiting time seem less long.

He said people in general get frustrated with dead or wasted time. By putting mirrors near and in lifts it makes that 30 second wait more bare able and it’s a low cost solution
