Doormen were present in early elevators because people were afraid to ride alone.
The claim about doormen in early elevators is not directly supported by the evidence found. While early elevators evolved with enhancements like automatic doors to ensure safety, there's no specific evidence discussing doormen being routinely present. Regarding fear of riding alone in early elevators, evidence suggests claustrophobia contributed to discomfort, but no explicit evidence was found about widespread fear leading to the usage of doormen. Overall, both claims lack strong evidence.
