I'm assuming the only reason that you would charge money to use something is to make a profit....well i have a hard time believing the small amount of money they would have to charget people to even want to use this thing would eventual cover expenses, let alone the cost of running.

and even after all the questioning about getting stuck; it can't be a public toilet because you have to pay to get in.  What if you really had to go and didnt have money? How would you do that legally?

I'm sure there's something to prevent getting trapped - come on. My beef is the ventilation. I'm chinese. I've been to China. I've been to Chinese bathrooms. The smell is nostalgic - you can always count on it being there. Some sort of mixture of urine and old-school soap. And those are the above-ground ones. That smell is probably going to stay in there and you know what? If i DO get stuck, I'd kill myself before anything else. Also, it looks like a lot of money to build, the machinery probably needs maintenance and as a tourist attraction ... meh It's not like it's well designed or anything (like those glass european ones) - looks like a suicide booth. Nope, not for me. But, if you jump on top, it WOULD give u a great view of the local area!

Who would want to get trapped in that thing?!  What if no one comes along for days to deposit a coin? "Corpse found in toilet" is not how I want to be remembered.
