Subway station toilets: a surprisingly accurate indicator of urban civilisation

I was not impressed by the toilets in the Tokyo city rail system. The one or two I tried to use were not very clean, though maybe not quite as gross as some toilets I've seen in the US.

The nicest public toilets I've been are the toilets in the Taipei airport, which are uniformly fairly clean and functional. Narita airport is also quite nice.

Which Taipei airport: Songshan or Taoyuan?

I completely misunderstood your comment, and then thought:

Why don't planes have urinal-only bathrooms and communal sinks? They could probably fit an extra seat in that way.

Bowl toilets are probably preferable on an airplane for splash reduction reasons.
