Made it easier to move buildings
An passenger elevator is a type of vertical transportation that moves people between floors of a building.
Main purpose of an elevator is to enable the vertical transportation. So, depends on what it is carying,it can be differentiate like passenger elevator,frieght elevator etc..... Hence the main purpose of the passanger elevator is to enable the vertical transportation to the human(passenger).
After Elisha Graves Otis successfully demonstrated in 1854, the effectiveness of the elevator brake he invented, the confidence in the safety of passenger elevators grew. That confidence facilitated the construction of buildings taller than four or five stories. Thus, the high rise was born and cities grew upward rather than outward. It changed the face of cities around the world. Also passenger confidence grew developing the population in many large cities
One kind of elevator uses pulleys, but not all do.

The impact was that, it helped people travel up in the elevator to a high floor instead of walking, without the risk of the cable snapping and the elevator falling. :D
On March 23, 1857 the first Otis passenger elevator was installed was at 488 Broadway in New York City.
