In an ideal world, public restrooms would be designed with both hygiene and privacy in mind. This could include features such as:

The toilet bowl and seat are treated with a self-cleaning nano-coating that repels water spots, mineral deposits, and bacteria. This coating works with UV light technology integrated into the toilet to sanitize the bowl and seat after each use.

Often, the toilet cistern is hidden behind a wall or within the toilet's structure, making the overall unit more compact.
