Paternoster is a transport system in 2D Tower. Continuous-loop lift with limited capacity. Requires 2 cars plus 2 additional cars per floor.

\n\n== How it works ==
A Paternoster is a continuously moving passenger transport. Its cars serve every floor in the shaft regardless of service-floor toggles, and its power use includes idle, loading, moving, and active-passenger components.
Strategy
Use a Paternoster where continuous all-floor access is more valuable than selective express service. It is a poor fit for a route that needs skipped floors, but its always-moving cars can complement elevators on a busy, compact vertical corridor.
