Even If They Had Toilet Paper . . .
. . . I’m pretty sure people would avoid them:
Posted: July 30th, 2008 | Filed under: Smells Fishy, Smells Not RightA survey of subway toilets found that nearly all the loos in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan stations were either locked or so poorly stocked and maintained that they were virtually unusable.
The review — by Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind — of 18 restrooms in three boroughs found 10 were locked and four of the open restrooms lacked toilet paper.
Only two, on Roosevelt Island and the Church Avenue F train station, were stocked and open — but the latter was being used by transit workers in an area inaccessible to straphangers, according to Hikind’s report.

But given the conditions of some bathrooms, riders may want to keep their distance. An assessor actually walked in on “two men engaged in sexual activity” during one bathroom evaluation, the report said.
