[Star Trek] Why does no one ever have to wait for a turbolift?

Now I'm just back from good old Starbase 4 and got to take a tour on the good ship Enterprise 1701-D. You walk up to the door and it opens, you get in and each journey can take up to a minute, plus each one can be halted for indefinite amounts of time on command, yet no one seems to have to wait for a turbolift to arrive and neither does a halted turbolift seem to stop anyone else moving around. On a ship of several thousand people this must be a huge task to achieve. Back on Starbase 4 those damn original spec hydraulic things break down all the time and you might as well pitch a tent if it's not there when you arrive. Has there been some advancement in technology that makes this possible?

Everyone on the ship is wearing a comm badge which tracks their movement closely enough to be instantly dematerialized down to the atom, and the ship itself is managed by a vastly competent AI which has been optimized by the finest minds from a nation of trillions. Getting turbolift cars positioned is nothing. 

As for wait times, the vast majority of the ship's personnel are at their duty stations, or moving between rooms within their department, so they're not constantly taking the turbolift. The show follows the command crew of the Enterprise, not a group of biological researchers, so of course their travel gets prioritized by Enterprise traffic control.
