Bus Stop Portable Toilet

Bus stop portable toilets are facilities set up to address the difficulty of finding restrooms at bus stops. They offer advantages such as portability, modularity, and ease of transportation.

Composition and Classification of Portable Toilets

Bus stop portable toilets generally consist of fecal sewage storage tanks (or fecal sewage treatment devices), floor slabs, sanitary ware, walls, washing equipment, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. They can be classified in various ways based on structural form, mobility, and sewage treatment methods. For example, in terms of sewage treatment, there are waterless types, such as the waterless portable toilets in Langfang, which use vacuum suction technology to prevent odor leakage and do not require water supply or drainage. There are also microbial degradation types, like the new microbial degradation portable toilets in Lhasa, Tibet, which are suitable for outdoor public restrooms and eco-friendly public toilets in scenic areas.

Construction Measures

Relevant departments have taken a series of measures to promote the construction of bus stop portable toilets. They have formulated and issued the "Implementation Plan for Increasing the Quantity and Improving the Quality of Urban Public Toilets (2021-2022)", focusing on areas with high pedestrian traffic, such as bus stops, and areas where the public urgently needs restrooms, with plans to add new public toilets. They actively encourage social units to open their restrooms to bus drivers. They strengthen the planning and layout of public toilets around bus stops, promote the use of new-technology public toilets, and guide relevant departments to include public toilet construction in the planning and construction of bus stops. They also enhance the maintenance, renovation, and daily operation and management of public toilets around bus stops to improve toilet service levels. For example, at the north section of Huanglong Road bus terminal in Yubei District, the existing bus dispatch room was expanded according to local conditions, and additional toilets and stalls were added. Signs for social unit restrooms and public toilets near bus stops were also installed to improve guidance.
