===Type B, Large Personnel===
Large personnel lifts (or, express lifts) are designated for long-range distance travelling on the base. Approximately 75% of the base's lift-tubes are accessible to Type B cars. At 3.5 meters wide, they allow space for a bench, attahced to the interior wall of the lift, as well as a central pole passengers can use to stabilize themselves with.

Type B cars move at a higher rate of speed than the Type C cars (mentioned below), and also receive higher priority in tube-access than Type C cars. As such, Type C cars will automatically be routed out of the travel path of a Type B, even if it means the Type C car must pause at a wait station. Type B only access certain decks of the base, which requires that some passengers access a Type C car from their current location, to an express lift's designated deck.
