They have a handful of these in Boston and of the one I used the reality was this:

When you first walk in just after someone else used the "facility" the first thing you have to do (if you're a guy taking a dump or a woman doing whatever) is make sure that your clothes don't touch the floor because after each use of the "facility' it does a complete jacuzzi-like hose down of the floor. This process ineveitably splashes all over the place so that if you are going to use the toilet seat you have to wipe it down. You have the "apartment" for 20 minutes after which you hear a warning that in five minutes the door will open. It had a funky single muzak-like tune that you eventually find yourself humming too if you stay long enough (I had to take a dump).

When I used this "apartment" I thought how counter-productive the unit was. Resources-wise it's a global warming zealot's nightmare with it's hosedown features that seem to presume that the person before was contagious with what not while the water use to clean was completely unnecessary.

When in Boston it was obvious to me of the lack of public facilities but this is plain overkill. Other than for someone with a handicap issue(s) the general public would settle for your standard port-a-potty where each stall is twice the size and the drop zone is not neceassarily right into a open vat of sewage.

Suggest you stay out of Indian toilets...
