The first of 20 new public pay toilets coming to NYC was introduced yesterday in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. I can think of a lot of things you can do in a 45 square foot stainless steal pay toilet for 15 minutes, and none of them are good.
Twenty-five cents buys 15 minutes, and a recording gently warns users when it’s time to get off the pot. I can’t help but imagine one of those creepy Disney World voices saying, “Please shit or get off the pot, please shit…or get off the pot. Thank you, come again.”
Outside the chambers, a bank of lights near the coin slot signal the toilet’s status: green for vacant; red for occupied; white for out of order. A yellow light indicates the daytime-only stations are closed for the night.
This gives a whole new meaning to your 15 minutes of fame. Apparently after your 15 minutes are up, you have a three minute grace period, then whether you’re finished or not, the doors just open.
So what about you? Would you use a pay toilet for $.25 or would you just keep walking until you saw the next McDonalds like everyone else?

shoot-up, go down, imagine the boon in the 15 minute blowjob industry around the Brooklyn Army terminal.
