It's established that every personnel transport operation requires a skilled non commissioned officer to operate. On a ship with a crew complement of 1,000.

It's probably best to minimise teleporter "mishaps"

Ain't no way I'd be using one of those

And you’d rather use a turbolift during an emergency?

That's what Jefferies tubes are for.

I think we’ve only ever seen a turbolift break down once. Transporter mishaps actually seem far more common!

It's odd that they use transporters so frequently in the 32nd century
