>Actually travelling to the surface world would be akin to driving for hours across the state. It's a trip and would be planned for accordingly, and happen rarely.

I must be missing something. 10,000ft is 1.8ish miles. That's like an 8 minute bike ride not a cross-state drive. Even if it took 30 minutes by elevator, that's a reasonable commute in cities like Chicago.
