A system for transporting people from a spinning ring up a conduit to a spaceship
+0

I have a spaceship which is basically a cylinder a little less then a kilometer long. Attached to the ship by pylons connected to a hub is an inhabited ring which spins to produce a gravity-like effect. I want to get people from the hub up to the ship through one of the pylons. "Down" is the outside of the ring and the center of the ship has no gravity. What method of transport would lift them from the ring and by the time they got to the ship, cancel the momentum they would have from the spinning ring?
