WaterAid launches country’s first ‘Public Toilet Bangladesh’ app covering all national highways, making home returning an ease for millions of Bangladeshi people!
Not knowing where to go and where to find a clean toilet can be daunting. And when out on the road for hours, especially for women, children and the elderly this becomes stressful – making it a challenge millions face during long Eid vacation journeys with traffic-trails reaching kilometers.
With Eid travels just around the corner, this app can be a saviour during the journey home! With increasing traffic jams and unpredictable road conditions, downloading ‘Public Toilet Bangladesh’ through few simple clicks can be the solution that millions are looking for, not only for long travels during Eid, but for day-to-day commute as well.
WaterAid Bangladesh, to ease the travelling and to provide information on country-wide toilet facilities, have launched the ‘Public Toilet Bangladesh’ app - now available for download in Play Store, providing toilet locations across four major highways and Dhaka city based on a user’s GPS location or through direct searches. The app also offers information on features and facilities – such as whether a toilet has separate chambers for men and women, whether it has disability-friendly access, or is a paid facility. Photos and rating features allows anyone to check toilet conditions before using and write reviews to help other users find the best service, while bring service providers to put more attention to keeping the toilets clean and friendly.
The unique feature of this app is anyone around the country can also upload unlisted toilets, so others can find and review them – helping to develop a countrywide map through collective contributions.
WaterAid has been working with city corporations and local authorities to renovate and build public toilets in Dhaka city and beyond (Sylhet, Khulna, Chattogram) for over 5 years now, and with an aim to make public sanitation readily available and accessible to all this public toilet locating app has been developed.
