The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) recently finished mapping 3,465 toilets across Mumbai on Google Maps. These include more than 800 public toilets, pay-and-use toilets, toilets handed over to NGOs and contractors for maintenance, and those at petrol pumps, state transport stops, railway stations, government offices, and parks. We had about two months to complete it.”This is the second time BMC has attempted to map public toilets for Internet users. In 2017, the civic body launched an android mobile application called Mumbai Toilet Locator, mapping 800 public toilets. It’s simpler.”According to the Central government directives, all cities are mandated to map public utility places such as railway stations, hospitals, and most importantly public toilets.
