New York City has introduced a new feature in its public restrooms designed to encourage quicker use: doors now automatically unlock after 10 minutes of inactivity. The initiative aims to address long-standing concerns about overcrowding and misuse of public facilities. Users must swipe a card or tap their phone to gain entry, ensuring the space remains accessible to others. The system is part of broader efforts to modernize and improve efficiency in city amenities.
