5. In many (most?) office buildings, people are forced to take the elevator rather than the stairs.

Because of security, if you take the stairs you will find the door locked when you get to your floor. Unless building owners are required to treat those doors (which are usually fire doors) also as access doors (i.e. you can swipe your badge to unlock it), people will be forced to take elevators.

Sure, a lot of people will take the elevator anyway. But those who would choose the stairs would be healthier, and lighter, for it.
