What would you think about having to pay to use public toilets at transit stations in Ottawa? https://t.co/97uOekEVkI

@RobynBresnahan I have Crohn's disease and some times I don't have time to stop and pay!!!! When you gotta go you gotta go.

@CBCOttawa after having been to London and Paris, as a tourist, and dealing with this aggravation, this should be a free service in Ottawa

—@CurKath

@CBCOttawa I hate this idea so much I will literally pee on the outside of the door in protest.

—@ourladyofcoffee

@CBCOttawa Absolutely ridiculous. I can imagine how people will behave if it happens.

—@lisefalardeau

@CBCOttawa cheaper to let people pee for free than to clean up after the ones who cant or wont. Probably a bad revenue "stream"

—@Igallant

@CBCOttawa does #2 cost extra?

—@kkkat222

@CBCOttawa What do I think about a classist violation of human rights? HMMMM

—@upper_cayce

@robynbresnahan unless they put in a debit machine, it'll be a fail... who walks around with pocket change to use a toilet?

—@jasonmulligan

@CBCOttawa @RobynBresnahan if they're going to charge me to pee, they'd better lower my bus fare to compensate

—@MorinTim

@CBCOttawa it's no different than buying a drink at timmies to use the bathroom.

@RobynBresnahan I pay when I go to Europe,use to pay when i was a kid in Toronto...10 cents!

.@OttawaMorning these self-cleaning toilets in Berlin are outstanding! Public. Full wash down after every use. pic.twitter.com/AgYJRcnAim

@OttawaMorning Pay toilets: Germany has them. Always safe and clean, with an employee on site to keep it tidy. I love the idea for LRT.

—@KittyBroadway

@OttawaMorning of course we should pay for public toilets. Remember when we paid in department stores. They always had helpful attendants

—@leucagal

@OttawaMorning Presto card uses NFC tech which is built into most smartphones. An app could be built to allow washroom access.

—@pohl1

@MrsOxleysClass @OttawaMorning definitely agree. If we have to pay, they should also function using presto card, and probably credit/debit.

—@andrewmlpullin

@OttawaMorning the best pay toilet experience was at Harrods in London cost a the attendant cleaned the stall after every use.
