That was a quick guided tour of Paris 😆 and very interested one, a public toilet. To tell the truth, thats looks dirty and gross. Anyway, hope you have a great time and catch you on the next one. 😄
That is Pigalle: lots of bars, EX shops, and other stuff you don't want to know about so yeah, drunk people or worse usually don't leave clean places...
Yea, anything that "automatically cleans" itself is going to get ignored and fall into disrepair. All for free public toilets, but somebody has to take care of them
Someone does take care of them: the employees of the company clean the toilets and refill all the toilet paper, soap, and do some other stuff every day. 🤦♀️
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.
Dirtiest washroom walls I've ever seen. I'd rather buy something at McDonald's and use theirs. Toronto shouldn't get these unless they had a clean button to notify maintenance about those walls like they do at Walmart.
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.
As someone who makes her living by cleaning toilets and washrooms... hard nope on this.....but thanks for sharing.. Question, does the TP change itself then and is it in the right direction lol
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...
I remember another youtuber leaving his camera on a similar type of public toilet just to see what would happen inside during the wash cycle. Did you thought of doing the same?
Toronto has, well, one of these. It's on the Martin Goodman Trail around Dowling, about 10 feet east of the tennis courts. Twenty-five cents last time I checked.
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.
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
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! 🥰🥰🦅🦅
When I use to live in France my aunt stayed in one of those public toilets at the time it had only a 5 minute limit and she got stuck in it during the cleaning cycle and she came out soaking wet, at the time it was funny as hell but would hate to have it happen to me, lol
In France, in railway stations and even churches, you have to pay to use the toilets. If you don't have coins, bad luck. I had to hold off until I got on the train, to use the train's free toilet. 🥴
Humans have reached the moon and are planning to go to Mars, yet we still aren't able to create eco-friendly, self-cleaning public toilets or even manage to keep a simple public bathroom clean.
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.
There is also another at woodbine beach near the TTC bus stop there. They did have plans for more but people objected to having to pay a tooonie to use it.
Toronto has this. Go down through Woodbine Park and cross street to beach and it is right there. Been there for years. At the crossing area across from condos near parking lot. Beaches East.
But he lives in America, albeit Canadian America. Still pretty American from across the Pond. I've known English immigrants in Vancouver who called Canadians 'Yanks'..😁
