First of all, I'm all for public bathrooms. I don't like to use them, but it's nice that they're there.

That being said $109,000 is a lot of friggin' money for a toilet. Does anybody else want to comment on how pathetic society has become when a bathroom that does it all for you (lazy pricks) garners attention in the Washington post. Not to mention "Yesterday's maiden flush was emotional...." EMOTIONAL?!?! It's a toilet. Apparently a toilet for folks who are either too stupid or too lazy to dispense their own soap, flush their own toilets, and turn on the water by themselves.

I'm afraid that putting in a fancy toilet isn't going to get people to ride the trains in D.C. They should take the $109, 000 and hire a full time janitorial staff and then hire new metro managers. Managers keeping people from the bathroom and poor sign placement seems to be the problem with the current system, but I'm sure a big fancy bathroom that dispenses toilet paper at the push of a button will solve all that.
