Glides

[Tarzanphan60]

I was thinking last night about how Central has glides. But I don’t think I’ve seen them mentioned in any other tall buildings.

Why do you think that is?

Are there other buildings I can’t remember that has them?

They're mostly mentioned in older books that there's "people glides" or "sky glides". Like from Vengeance:

She started off at a jog, then slowed as she watched Roarke walk back toward her from the other car. “All I got is an illegals runner with the brains of a toadstool.”
“The other car’s empty,” he told her.“ He’s ditched it.” Jaw set, he scanned the street crowded with vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Three criss-crossing sky-glides were jammed with people. Grand Central was a crosstown block away.
“We lost him.”

A couple of times they're in a large department store and she mentions glides. But again, that's in the early books. I don't think she's mentioned anything like that lately.

I am picturing the glides like what they have in airports. Right?

That’s how I see them, except sometimes they move vertically too, like an escalator.

I would love to see glides everywhere especially in places like amusement parks or really busy city streets like NYC or San Fran. But it would cause people to not get any exercise and then I picture us looking like the characters in Wall-E.
