#Tokyo had different architects from across the country design its new public toilets. And theyβre fabulous.    @JasonThorne Entering that last one, I'd have to restrain myself from saying, "One to beam down, Mr Scott." You donβt often see outward facing seats on transit vehicles, but being able to gaze out the window rather than at an ad across the aisle makes for a pretty enjoyable ride! (This is the Kuala Lumpur Monorail).

 @JasonThorne Thatβ¦ that's an interesting health hazard, weirdly enough. A surprising number of people both in my family and that I generally know would have motion sickness induced by high-speed horizontal motion (their body) made worse by horizontal perceived motion (visual). Even when in a taxi, bus, or Uber, my head points ahead. If there's a turn, my head preemptively points to our destination direction and as the vehicle turns, my head turns to always point in the direction of travel. Or π€’  @JasonThorne rushhour be like: do i even exist for you? Two aisles for the price of one! .... Seems like a design constraint of the monorail (wheels under seats) led to bifurcation of a normally monolithic (eg efficient, accessible) aisle. Is it a steel wheel or rubber tired monorail? Having seen a commercial vehicle tire fail at speed and launch pieces of rubber through the fender, I'd rather not be sitting on top of it when it goes. |
