An elevator system may include a plurality of cars that are disposed vertically one above another in a common shaft. The plurality of cars may be independently movable. Further, the plurality of cars may include evacuation devices that permit the passage of passengers from a car to be evacuated into an adjacent car that is disposed vertically above or below the car to be evacuated. In some cases, an evacuation device of an uppermost car of the plurality of cars includes an opening floor hatch, and an evacuation device of a lowermost car of the plurality of cars includes an opening roof hatch.
