If you tried #2 and it made things worse, someone was Doing It Wrong. Seriously. Can you explain to me how #2 could possibly result in it being worse? Even if you screw up the idea completely, you've still got the same number of people getting on random elevators, just like if you hadn't tried in the first place.
An escalator can handle 10-50x as much traffic as elevator. Stopping elevators to the escalator floors would only result in 2-10% more escalator traffic.
A lot of people keep objecting to these ideas (in various places, I cross posted this to facebook and elsewhere) with a "we tried that, it didn't work". I refuse to accept that. Tell me WHY it didn't work. If you can't, then I have to assume the answer is poor implementation. Like communism, all of these ideas are sound :)
