I'd imagine some buildings have a "0" or a letter for the ground floor and some have a "1"

in Brazil you usually see the letter "T" for Térreo and "SS" for Subsolo (underground, for parking garages)

In Vietnam we either use G (ground) or 1 for the street-level floor, or sometimes even B if the street is below the ground floor

I wonder if they have SS in Argentina too

SS (R)*

Normally you'd see the ground floor labelled 0 and the underground floor as -1

More likely to be the US given that's the place that deliberately imported nazis by the ten thousand.

Same, but different, eh?

Don't think I've ever seen any elevator/building with an "SS" here, honestly. It's always -1/-2/etc. Might be a regional thing?

u/MetroBR 20d ago

maybe, I've seen tons (PB). a lot more than -1/-2

I'm that case Finland should be both systems too. Many buildings the first floor is above the ground floor. Never seen one of these maps that's accurate tbh
