Wow, Taiwan has 7-11? I have been to Taiwan twice, the last time was in 1975 and there were zero 7-11s.

Choke and Family Marts (like 7/11). Almost like Waikiki and ABC stores.  And their food is mean. Like we often eat there. Imagine flying internationally and wanting to eat at a 7/11. That's how mean the food is. Plus they get choke drinks, but almost no fruity drinks like POG, Aloha/Hawaiian Sun type drinks.  The 1 fruit punch I tried tasted very healthy, like it taste freshly made with various fruits and no added sugar like how fruit punches here sell.  But it wasn't to my liking.

It's all good until you have a 5 year old who really needs to go and can't hold it.

Not everything is about how it affects you personally.

The situation doesn't really change though, other public transportation doesn't have bathrooms either.

And it's not like HI is restroom friendly either.  In Taiwan, almost every 7/11 has a public restroom. There's one on every other corner.  So 1 could easily find a restroom on their way to the train station.

That might be because they don't have chronics going in to shoot up and they have a respectful society that will take care of the bathroom instead of breaking crap. Don't get me wrong, I love America's sense of freedom but it has also lead to a bunch of people with no regard for society. Some public bathrooms have prison style metal toilets because otherwise some dummy breaks the toilet just because he feels like it.

Other public transportation, like The Bus (is there another?), have stops directly in front of or next to businesses, malls and public areas that do have restrooms.  The Rail, however, has stations that require you to walk -- in some places quite a ways -- to find a restroom for public use.

I invite you to research the stations here:

https://honolulutransit.org/about/route-map/

Click a station, then click the View Station button for photos.  The majority of the surrounding area at every terminal is for parking, bus pickup and drop off, Handi-vans, etc.  Any businesses are several levels down to street level and another block or more past the stations.  The Bus isn't that way.  if you're in the same areas The Rail runs, The Bus can drop you near a restroom. 

Besides, are you really arguing for lack of facilities because other city/state services are just as poorly designed?  is that the standard now?  "The Rail only has to be  as good as other public trans systems, so let's save some money."

But they said there would be restrooms waaay back in 2014.
another occasion for the sad trombone.

Most bus stops aren't near bathrooms either. Even in Ala Moana mall the bathrooms aren't very close to the bus stop.

Bathrooms are nice and all but if you already ride the bus and switch to the train you really aren't losing anything.

So, never mind that they promised one or more restrooms in every rail terminal?

I mean it is unfortunate but if it isn't in the budget, what can be done? Should we give more money to the rail?

Oh, so promises don't matter if they under-budgeted and over spent?

Maybe they can find some revenue in the budget they are using to pay lawyers to fight against our 2A rights?

Its ok. People can just pee and poop in the train if they really need to go. </sarc>

There will be one . . .

"Though there are no public restrooms in any of the rail stations, Morton said they do have at least one employee bathroom available in the event of an emergency. If the public is really, really in need of a bathroom, it’s kind of like in a — in a restaurant where there’s a key to get access to the bathroom, said Morton."

“They will be able to get access to the restroom, from the station attendant,” Morton further explained. “That’s the policy. Unfortunately, we only have one toilet, in most stations. And so it’s not. It’s not feasible to leave them open, you know, without key access.”

================
yikes

Just line up those porta potties right below the rail stations.  I mean, it will be an ugly sight but in my opinion it can't get any uglier than how the rail stations and the whole rail system as a whole look now.

 

Panos?  His background in "engineering" made him about as qualified for Govs office as our esteemed "Doctor Green". . . :barf:

I think health code states a restroom must be made available to all employees and must be within 200 yards.

So because of druggies, the public has to now suffer.  Maybe blue lights inside the restrooms to make it harder to see the vein.  There is a solution, it's HI being HI again. Day late, dollar short.

easy fix. Make it a sensitive place free of illegal drugs. Its illegal anyways so make it more illegaller in a sensitive place. If no work make it a super sensitive place.
