In some areas, sitting bowls or squatting plates are both available in the toilets. But the sitting bowls are mainly for those disabled, the scked and the pregnant. Usually, the handrail is equipped beside the sitting bowls, making convenience for them.

You are very funny. But it's true, espeically on long distance trains. We should know that the train can't store too much water. If there are too many passengers (especally during holidays), the water can't meet all people's needs.

But someone says foreigners don't use WC anymore. Instead, restroom, bathroom and lavatory are used more frequently.
