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.
