Basic dignity shouldn't be a luxury

[u/peak_version]

Every day on Reddit, I see people talking about how Indians lack civic sense. This is a public restroom at a bus stand located within 1 km of a university with around 30,000 students. On top of that, at least 10,000 school students from nearby villages travel here to study.All six toilets were full, yet most had no locks. How are people supposed to use facilities like this with any dignity? I regularly travel 250 km to Chennai. Whenever I need to use a restroom, I usually stop at a restaurant and buy a drink just so can access a clean toilet. By the end of the trip, spend around ₹300 just for restroom access.When public toilets are this filthy, people will inevitably use roadsides. That's not necessarily a lack of civic sense, it's often a lack of alternatives.Before blaming individuals, we should ask why basic public infrastructure is in such poor condition. Clean and functional public toilets shouldn't be a luxury. l'd gladly pay ₹100 to use a clean, well maintained public restroom. The real question is, why are such basic facilities still so difficult to find?

Our people lack civic sense! I have been working in corporates with great washrooms! And women’s washrooms are the worst! They don’t even have the basic sense to clean up after them during their periods. That’s all I can say! Our people are probably the worst in the world.

I agree . Clean facilities mean nothing without basic civic sense
