While in Adventure Mode and using Fast Travel I would suggest adding "Stairs Up/Down" indication to the screen to make it easier to go into / out of the dwarven travel tunnels.

With these sorts of things its sometimes a matter of finding a balance between eliminating unnecessary steps and making it that you have to put in just enough effort to make the decision count. For example with rivers how you can't cross without a bridge.

Still, I agree that this could be done, the stairs don't present any obstacles like rivers do.

Another potential good idea is to allow for the player to access there inventory and/or eat and drink edibles during fast-travel. Making the player stop when traveling long distances just to take care of hunger and thirst can add more then a few dull moments to a long session of playing.
