Portable Toilets at Taiyuan Station
Taiyuan Station is equipped with portable toilet facilities to meet the restroom needs of passengers. Details are as follows:
Facility Configuration: Free portable restrooms are set up on the west square of Taiyuan Railway Station, open 24 hours a day to accommodate passengers arriving or departing at different times. The Taiyuan Sanitation Machinery Cleaning Team has stationed two brand-new portable toilet buses on the square in front of the station, with fully equipped interiors. These include independent squatting toilets to meet basic restroom needs, as well as third restrooms for special groups such as the disabled and mothers with infants, providing convenience. The buses feature automatic sensor flushing systems for ease of use and hygiene, and are equipped with deodorization systems to effectively improve air quality inside the restrooms. Additionally, there are baby care stations for parents to attend to their infants, emergency medical supplies for passengers experiencing minor issues, and mobile phone charging ports to meet passengers' needs for charging their phones while waiting.
Service Management: The service hours of the portable toilet buses are aligned with train schedules, providing all-day service from the arrival of the first morning train to the departure of the last night train. In terms of sanitation and cleaning, four full-time cleaning staff are assigned to work in shifts, conducting hourly inspections. A combination of high-pressure washing and biological deodorizers is used to ensure that odors are reduced to below the national secondary standard within half an hour. The buses are equipped with their own trash recycling systems, and cleaning staff clear the trash bags every two hours to maintain cleanliness both inside and outside the restrooms.
Usage Guidance: To facilitate passenger identification and use, the exterior of the buses is painted with the words 'Free Use', and signs and announcements provide relevant information simultaneously. Furthermore, considering the needs of special groups such as the elderly, young children, the disabled, and pregnant women, they are given priority in using the third restrooms.
Market Situation: The wholesale prices of portable toilets at Taiyuan Station vary depending on brand and type. For example, some portable toilets from the Jiaohui Pavilion brand are priced at 3000 yuan per unit (for orders of 1 or more).
