Mobile Toilets at Taiyuan Railway Station
Taiyuan Railway Station is equipped with various types of mobile toilets to meet the needs of different travelers.
The "Mobile Toilet Bus" is a major highlight of the mobile toilets at Taiyuan Railway Station. The Taiyuan Sanitation Machinery Cleaning Team has deployed two brand-new mobile toilet buses, which are stationed at the most prominent location in the station square from the arrival of the first train in the morning until the departure of the last train at night, providing 24-hour service. The buses are fully equipped with independent squatting toilets, a third toilet (for the disabled, elderly, pregnant women, and children), automatic flushing systems, and deodorization systems. Four full-time cleaning staff are on duty in shifts, conducting hourly inspections to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. The exterior of the buses is marked with the words "Free to Use," and signs and announcements are synchronized to facilitate easy location and use by travelers. The third toilet can be prioritized for use by the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and children, and the buses are also equipped with baby care stations, emergency medicines, and mobile phone charging ports. After use, there is almost no odor, as cleaning staff use high-pressure washing combined with biological deodorizers to reduce odors to below the national secondary standard within half an hour. The buses are equipped with a built-in trash recycling system, and cleaning staff clear the trash bags every two hours to prevent "secondary pollution."
Free mobile toilets are located on the west square of Taiyuan Railway Station and are open 24 hours a day, providing great convenience for travelers. Whether it is early morning or late at night, travelers can easily find and use these toilets at any time.
In addition, modular mobile toilets have appeared on the streets of Taiyuan. These toilets are designed with factory-prefabricated modules, with each module being an independent "small house" containing a toilet, sink, and barrier-free facilities. They can be quickly assembled on-site using lifting equipment and put into use on the same day. Multiple modules can be flexibly combined to form toilet clusters of different sizes to meet various needs. The modules are equipped with intelligent positioning systems and hydraulic drive mechanisms at the bottom, allowing remote control of toilet movement via a mobile app and even automatic adjustment of positions based on peak passenger flow. The Taiyuan Sanitation Department has announced plans to promote these new toilets citywide this year, focusing on deployment in old residential areas, commercial districts, and scenic spots. Over the next three years, Taiyuan plans to add 200 modular mobile toilets to further improve the city's public sanitation standards.
