I wonder what bystanders were thinking when they say this guy and a cameraman (or woman) come out of the bathroom together. Especially with a camera.

uummm.... they've had those for years in San Francisco. same concept. THAT'S IT.. I'm gonna invent something that's already invent in us on the other side of the country.

A quarter to pay for a piss/shit. This will turn out like the public pya phones, the fee will get raised & no1 will use them b/c u can go into a mcdonalds & do ur business there. No1 saids a word or basivally cares if u go into fast food restaurant to do your business. .25 cents is nice, but that might go up w/ how everything is being charged. I have to admit they are cleaner then the lirr bathrooms & public bathrooms there.

Good Fucking Greif..Why don't we sell the public on a super high tech bathroom for $.25 then once they go for it change it to $5..After all it is NYC and charging to take a piss so you don't get ticketed for taking one in the park is our specialty

[tomatinlopez]

why would he be checking the bathrooms

@jiberish001 i think we were just following the european model. when i was in paris in 2005, you had to pay for all public bathrooms (it was probably more than 25cents then too)

Interesting.

I think its not feasible in the sense that, the user experience just takes too long! Imagine ppl lining up for a quick pee =_='
