I have designed and deployed in car WiFi for a few folks - one we had a Cat 5 cable that was part of the traveler cable (so certified from a movement perspective) and the other we had a pair that I used a DSL converter on to get a few MB of traffic for the AP.
These were all 10+ story buildings. The AP channel was fixed and discrete from the ones used on each floor - each car in the bank used the same channel and power setup - rarely did the cars stay on the same floor except in the late evening - Signal was basically blocked in the shaft anyway other than when the doors opened. Results were pretty good for the times and good enough to keep a VoIP call going in optimal situations (excluding client generated issues) We looked at P2P from the top of the shaft, but then I visited the top of one of the shafts and realized the dust and grease and access issues made it a non-starter.
