If the resultant cloud was highly corrosive, the elevator could open... empty.

Problem solved!

I’m guessing some kind of grid, not a flat smooth surface.

Oh great. So you’ll have a non slip surface as you stand in ankle deep urine.

Good plan....

Port-a-johns near the entrances seems like a cheaper solution.

“They don’t smell ‘like’ urine, they smell that way because they are public urinals.”

Correct. They smell OF urine, not LIKE urine.

If it went THAT deep it would spill over the car front edge, which isn’t hermetically sealed.

My Solution.

Raise the floor with a Grated surface.

Install multiple “Pick-ups” and some plumbing lines.

As the Urine puddles under the grate, have it pumped up and misted back onto the P’er.

S&M homosexuals will not have their rights to pee freely infringed!

If society at all levels is going to cater to the cross-dressers and male menstruation freaks then this too must be “tolerated”.

Nature’s Miracle works great for dog pee using natural enzymes. No reason it shouldn’t work for human pee

There was a time when there was such a thing as an ELEVATOR OPERATOR, to press buttons and keep people from doing such things.

Today? Not necessarily.
Just lots of injured or dead elevator operators.

Except that I, for one, would never want to live in a community that tolerates human animal behavior to get that bad.

I miss the old days, before we had democrat mayors. In San Francisco, we had numerous telephone booths with closing doors everywhere downtown. We had numerous stairwells at Civic Center to the underground garage below the park plaza. Bathrooms were everywhere in parks, BART, and shopping locations. Well, during Mayor Feinstein’s term (yes, that Dianne Feinstein) bums started pissing and defecating in park stairwells. Solution: board up the stairwells, and force people to walk a block away to an elevator and single stairwell that is enclosed. The telephone booths disappeared. Bathrooms started to get shut down. After 911, BART locked all bathrooms. So bums now just defecate and piss against the walls at BART stations. Relatively nothing positive has been done over the last 40 years by Democrat mayors, other than throwing away millions of dollars on portable toilets or pay-toilet automated kiosks that were a disaster. Democrats are full of sh...

Ah. So the “solution” is to turn the elevators into toilet bowels that also carry people up and down

Buying lots of the portable units used in Europe might work...

The womym might demand their own version though.

They could put up posters of Nancy Pelosi: then the smell of vomit would hide the smell of urine!

Okay, you’re not a complete idiot.

Don’t let it go to your head.

Several years ago I was marginally involved with train car floor installations. It was about $100K per car. All because these scum can’t be bothered to find a bathroom.
