Ternopil's "Golden Toilet" Remains Closed: Public Frustration Over Non-Functional Amenity

Ternopil, Ukraine – A recently installed public toilet facility in Ternopil continues to draw public attention, not for its modern design, but for its persistent state of disrepair. Despite its sleek, metallic exterior and a prominently lit bill acceptor, the toilet remains inaccessible to the public, bearing a sign that reads, "Toilet temporarily not working!!! Sorry for the inconvenience." Local residents have voiced their frustrations, with many recalling the facility being out of service for several years. One commenter stated, "It was a regular toilet about 5 years ago," while another shared a personal experience: "I went there when I was 6-7 years old, I'm already 20." Concerns have also been raised about the functionality of the payment system, with one user reporting, "I once paid 20 hryvnias or whatever it was but it didn't open for me." According to a former employee of a nearby establishment, "In fact, it's a state toilet, but the employees of 'Moburger and Jolly' were supposed to clean it." This suggests a potential disconnect in maintenance responsibilities, contributing to the prolonged closure and poor condition, which reportedly included issues with basic hygiene and usability even when it was operational. The ongoing inoperability of this public amenity, coupled with its apparent ability to accept payments, has led to public cynicism and calls for clarity from local authorities regarding its status and future. Residents are questioning when, or if, this public service will ever become fully functional.
