The public toilet outside the Shanghai Railway Station costs RMB1 per visit and is said to earn RMB100 million each year. To see whether there is truth to this rumour, Steward Du stood outside the toilet for a good five minutes to count the number of people entering the toilet and did all the math for us.

This is pretty cool. But it's five minutes in a 2:58 video? Is it sped up? Also, revenue and profitability are not the same thing.
Either the video starts speeding up at about 0:58, or my afternoon coffee is too strong.
nobody has pointed out the obvious, but that's a lot of Sh*t
I usually walk that fast when I need to go
Man I am very happy to part with one kwai (or sometimes only half that) for a piss in a pristine public pisshouse. Just wish that sometimes they had sit down bogs and not that trough. Clean as it may be.
It's 1RMB for the one near the ferry station at the Bund too.
I only had a piss! 1 RMB for a piss!
100 million per year
divided by 365 days per year
divided by 24 hours per day
divided by 60 minutes per hour
Would require just over 190 visitors per minute, or more than 3 per second.

Can someone please direct me to the dimension where USD 731 = RMB 5,000,000. I've got some currency exchange to do.
compared with europe where there is almost no public toilet and where you can pee only after paying for a cup of coffee, 1-3 yuan for an urgent release from your private parts is really not bad. i hope our vip expats can stop nagging. you are not that qualified.
@ leastman
They just make YOU pay for coffee to use those toilets because they suspect you'll mess them up.
And the toilets in Europe are much cleaner.
to nanheyangrouchuan,
they dont make YOU pay for coffee because thery know you are the very toilet cleaner.
I know you are but what am I! Five years old!!
