This paper recently featured a piece of news about a scrapped bus that got a facelift and is now a public toilet for women.
Stationed in the Fort area, at Fashion Street opposite the Bombay Gymkhana club, this bus has a number of Indian toilets, a Western toilet and a changing room for women. These buses are got from scrap heaps by an organisation working in the hygiene and public infra space, and they are mobile. They do not have an engine but they have wheels and can be towed to different locations. Currently, it is free of charge at the spot, but months later they are plans to charge a very small fee to use the toilet.
