Singapore is a 650 sq km piece of land. It has 29,500 public toilets(1). New York City, with a land area of 831 sq km, has 1178 public toilets.
I do find it interesting that access to water and restrooms almost comes to a halt north of 130th st. on the West Side Highway. As an aside, Robert Moses detailed in the book, Power Broker, was rumored to have put little brass monkeys in the only park bathroom above 130th st on the WSH. Years later, service segregation seems to remain.
