    Toronto used to have a lot of public toilets. The francophone school at Danforth and Broadview was toilets. There's a pair of under ground toilets at queen and Broadview who's entrances were just paved over. There were many like that throughout Downton. Public bathrooms were one of the fews places members of the same sex could be alone so they mostly were closed due to gay panic.

    We have some in Montreal at Papineau Station, Chinatown, Parc Émilie-Gamelin and maybe Old Montreal. I think they installed a total of four. I used one and, other than my dog being freaked out by the noise (he was with me on a walk when we came across it), it was great. I’m not sure I’d use it if I was by myself because who would you notify if there was a malfunction and you were stuck inside.

    There's a emergency button that you can push to unlock the door. Our self-cleaning toilets are much higher quality than those in Paris and I wish we had more of these, because the public restrooms in many of Montreal's parks are often filthy, although I've seen an improvement in the last years (I think they ramped up the cleaning schedule because of Covid). But at the same time, with a cost of $1 million, I understand why there are so few...

    These have been in Berlin for almost 20 years. They are generally MUCH cleaner than this one was - the wash cycle sprays the walls and floor very thoroughly. Have only been inside two of them though - so cannot vouch for all of them.

    We have these here in Geelong & Melbourne been around for about 9 years im so suprised Toronto doesn't have them & you have a 10 minute time limit or the door opens automatically it cleans everything after each person they are handy but some are gross they should have hand sanitier to & when you flush the toilet it if you don't flush the tap wont turn on i mean to wash your hands

  • @lisadeeyoung

    So bizarre, the timing of this. I saw a video yesterday or the day before about these. Someone sat on the sink to trick the washroom into going into the self-cleaning cycle when he was in there. Didn't seem too crazy.

    Good morning, Johnny Strides! Thanks much for showing us this piece of technology, except that the area by the toilet looks very unclean. Yes, they should have something like that in big cities like Toronto. Bring it to Mayor & Council & see what they say/think...................Cheers & have yourself a great day/trip! Happy touring! 🥰🥰🦅🦅

    To have nice bathrooms you need to pay for them and they need to be cleaned by humans. There are people out there who won't clean up after themselves no matter where they are and won't to leave the world a mess for others. As an American I've been to the bathrooms in Mannheim train station. You had to pay to use these bathrooms and they were kept clean.
