Same issue as per our office, ours is also a start-up organization started 2 years ago. Right from the beginning, I only kept the key, but as staff joined, and if on some days I used to come late, then they used to wait outside the office. Our office is in a complex wherein many offices are there, so the facility of waiting space and restrooms is always available to staff whether the office is open or not.
Then as people joined and as the duties of people became more complex, we started to issue keys to needy people. Now, almost every staff, a total of 8 staff, has the office keys. Once they open the office, they can use electronic access lock on the main door so the next person who comes will be able to open the door using a fingerprint/card.
Another thing is in any office, the housekeeping/cleaning staff comes half an hour before and will be cleaning the office premises, a normal practice so all offices open half an hour/1 hour before the working times.
I can understand your problem waiting half an hour until someone comes and opens the office. Just check, some solution will be there. We all know that when we come to the office after traveling a long distance, we need to refresh ourselves and relax for 5-10 minutes, which is not possible if the office is closed and no proper facilities are available.

This is a funny case. Your office starts at 9:00. The office is opened 5 minutes before. So, what is wrong with that? Nothing. You want to avoid rush hour traffic on the trains from Mira Road, so you arrive 30 minutes ahead of time. It appears you are blaming them for not opening the office at 8:30 instead of 8:55. They are not blaming you for coming early. I don't think they care how early you come.
Please tell me, why do you think others (or someone) should come early simply because you want to avoid the rush on the trains? Or why should the office change its time to suit you? As has been suggested by others, read the newspaper for half an hour. Or walk slowly from the station to the office. Stop en route for a meal or a morning snack if there is no place to wait at your office.

Dear Yogita,
Hello,
In big cities, it is a regular problem to attend the office on time. You would do well from your point of view to come earlier since there is a transport problem there. Coming to the office before time is not considered misconduct, but having to pass your time outside the office is really a problem for you. First, you take a key from your Admin and another key for your other staff. Those who come earlier will sign the register at the beginning and end of the office hours. I think there is no other alternative to it.
