Why don’t some of the “?” characters stop where I direct them to

When "?" characters appear, I would always direct them to my topmost floor (58 as of now) for the maximum income. On a few occasions though, I've noticed that some of them were always forced to step out on the 40th or 40+ floor. Initially, I thought this was due to my not putting my finger properly on the "up" button to propel the elevator to continue moving upwards.

Sometimes when the lift "jams" this way, I would quickly put my finger on the "down" button for a couple of floors before pushing the "up" button again and this usually solves my problem.
But just now, when I tried to move down, the lift wouldn't budge. It wouldn't move any higher as well, and my bitizen was forced to exit and walk the rest of the way up instead of reaching his home comfortably.

Does anyone else experience this elevator failure? Is this a bug?

Probably the game has some tiny lag moment and the game doesn't detect your finger anymore therefore "deciding" to stop at that level. You only need a few miliseconds to stop the elevator and the character will step out right away. Perhaps this explains your issue.
