Turkish Cities Face Public Toilet Service Issues

In Denizli, the intercity bus terminal has raised the fee for using public toilets from 10 TL to 20 TL while providing inadequate hygiene facilities. Complainants report missing toilet paper, broken hand‑dryers, non‑functioning urinal sensors and sub‑standard cleaning despite the fee increase, and they have urged the municipality to reassess the charge and improve service quality.

In Osmaniye’s city centre, the absence of any public toilets forces residents and visitors, especially the elderly, to relieve themselves against walls or other unsuitable locations. The lack of facilities has raised concerns about public health, environmental cleanliness and the dignity of citizens, prompting calls for modern, hygienic and affordable toilets in the busy market area.
