Too few public toilets in Vienna, especially at the metro stations: those who have to do their emergency on the way are increasingly a problem. But Viennese lines and the city deny.
It is probably one of the most annoying and uncomfortable things there are: the urge to go to a toilet, but not to find far and sides. Open drivers at the U2 station Donaustadtbrücke can also sing a song. The toilet there is closed since the summer of 2022.
“There is no chance to do his need. There is a very small forest nearby, but now the trees have no leaves. As a woman you will be exposed to the eyes of the drivers who pass by. An extremely uncomfortable situation! “Smoking a” crown “reader who wants to remain anonymous.
The same photo is also available in many other stations in the Viennese lines: no toilet wide and side!
From the Viennese lines it says: “We started a toilet offensive in 2019 to renovate and modernize the toilet facilities in the metro network, some of which are still from the 1970s. By implementing, we correspond to the current standards in terms of accessibility, cleaning and security and we offer our passengers a clean and comfortable quiet city.
For this purpose, the facilities were evaluated and an extensive concept was created in close coordination with the districts, which use the synergies with the ÖBB and the city of Vienna in the best possible way and therefore offer good stock in Vienna. “The Viennese lines now have a mix of guided toilet facilities with on-site staff and toilet facilities of stainless steel modules throughout the public network.” Too few toilets? According to the Viennese transport companies, there is no notification.
In the specific case, the nearest toilet facility is about a minute distance, in the adjacent U2 station Stadlau or a public toilet of the city of Vienna, about 50 meters from the southern output of the Donaustadt Bridge Station, in the “Barbados Inselevel” restaurant. But the restaurant is closed all winter and only opens on March 14. It is currently not planned to reopen the toilet of the Donaustadt Bridge Station.
“High density of toilets throughout the Viennese city area”
The responsible MA48 speaks of a “high density of toilets throughout the Viennese city area”. Currently, 163 public needs under the administration of Mon 48 are being increased by additional publicly accessible systems in the metro structures of the Viennese lines, ÖBB, Prater Vienna GmbH, on Danube island, the cemetery of Vienna, inner cities through facilities of the Federal Government and Participators.
In addition, many mobile toilet systems such as Öklos are provided by the real estate management departments of the city of Vienna (Mon 28, Mon 42, Mon 45, etc.), it continues. With 137 plants, more than 80 percent can be used for free. In 26 high frequency systems, a service offer is offered by constant presence of external cleaning staff.
