ahahah that's beautiful. So it's all good because they built public toilets? Like when big companies have programs for the disabled, that makes it all good all of a sudden, we forget all about the other stuff? Damn...

You are laughing. But the city of Berlin was not able to provide this service. Spending a day in the park or on the playground with kids and needing a rest room meant either hiding in a bush, going home early or to the next restaurant where you had to pay a fee, usually (bc they provided a rest room to hundreds of people daily).

I see this public private partnership a win-win.

Yet many other cities are able to provide free public toilets, including ones much much poorer than Berlin. Perhaps it's not really a matter of Berlin not being able to do it themselves.

Fixed that for you.
