"Waiting Area(hall, room)Number of toilets(excluding standing space)The number of men's toilet seats should be calculated based on the maximum number of people in the gathering at 2.5 per 100 people.(excluding standing space)The ratio of male toilets to female toilets should be 1:2.”

According to the official WeChat account of the National Railway Administration, the National Railway Administration recently issued an industry standard announcement on the "Railway Passenger Station Design Specifications" TB 10100-2018(hereinafter referred to as the "Specifications")The new version of the "Specifications" has been revised to further standardize the planning and construction of railway passenger stations.(excluding standing space)The ratio and number of male and female toilets were revised to stipulate that the ratio of male and female toilets should be 1:2. This has aroused widespread concern.

As people travel more frequently, the supply and demand contradiction of female toilets in public places such as train stations has been a hot topic for some time. Especially during peak travel periods such as short holidays and summer and winter vacations, the supply of female toilets in train stations is often insufficient to meet the demand, as women spend more time in the toilet and have different physiological needs, which makes many female passengers feel embarrassed when using the toilet.
