What is Bus toilet?
[[File:D674-03510-Water-Closet.jpg|thumb|A bus toilet onboard a [[bus]] in [[Japan]].]] A '''bus toilet''' is a [[toilet]] onboard a [[bus]] that is usually a type of a [[vaccum toilet]]. It is most commonly found on intercity buses/[[Coach (vehicle)|coach]]es suitable for mid- or long-distance travel. Many think that the toilet onboard a bus is only for peeing, but it can also be used for defecating. Due to the toilet's small opening, feces might not go down through the small hole on the toilet.<ref>https://toilet-guru.com/bus.php Bus Toilets — Toilets of the World</ref> == How a Bus Toilet Works == A bus toilet works differently than a [[home]] toilet does. A bus toilet does not use water, and it is not hooked up to a [[sewer]]. On a bus, [[urine]] and [[feces]] are held in a holding [[tank]]. Bus toilets use a blue formaldehyde product to mask the odor of urine and feces.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://getawaytips.azcentral.com/how-does-the-bathroom-on-a-bus-work-12154665.html | title=How Does the Bathroom on a Bus Work? | access-date=2021-08-15 | archive-date=2021-08-15 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210815165227/https://getawaytips.azcentral.com/how-does-the-bathroom-on-a-bus-work-12154665.html | url-status=dead }}</ref> There are two main types of bus toilets. One type has flap in the toilet that closes to hide the view of the holding tank. The other type does not have the flap, which leaves the holding tank in view. == References == <references /> == Other websites == * [https://toilet-guru.com/bus.php Bus Toilets — Toilets of the World] [[Category:Bus transport]] [[Category:Toilets]]
