New modular, self-cleaning public bathrooms could soon pop up across the city.

    I was hoping to read more about the self cleaning process, but it sounds like it’s just an antibacterial spray down after every use. I wonder what happens when there are physical items left about. Toilet paper on the floor, syringes left behind, etc. How do you keep the seat from being wet every time someone goes in? If they aren’t hooked up to water and sewer lines, how frequently are they manually maintained? I’m not saying this isn’t a good thing, just that I have a lot of questions that aren’t answered in the article.

    Edit: speech to text fucked my shit up

      They had one of these a while back in Seattle. They were constantly dirty/gross OR someone would go in there for an extended period of time - basically rendering them useless. It is better to have bathrooms with an attendant.
