I’ve always thought that this should be a thing! Women’s bathrooms can only accommodate a few people at a time, usually. There are always long lines!

Agree with this.I would also like to mention a problem I had faced while traveling by road from Delhi to Bareilly.Every 1.5 km’s there are petrol pumps, however,most of these petrol pumps do not have washrooms for women and even if some do,the condition cannot be described.Technology is developing,but this technology should be utilized and be put to use appropriately.

This is a valid point. I checked google and it is known solution, however nobody seems serious to make it this happen.
