A controversial new initiative in New York City is offering free public restroom access—but with a strict time limit. Under the program, users can enter designated bathrooms without charge, though they must exit after just 10 minutes to allow others access. Critics argue the policy may not fully address homelessness or sanitation concerns, while supporters see it as a step toward improving public amenities. The program’s enforcement and long-term impact remain key questions as the city tests this unusual approach.
