Gas Station with 67 Toilets!





You would not believe this... on our way back to Yogyakarta, we stop by at Tegal to refuel. There we found a Gas Station with 67 toilets! The banner said they have achieved recognition from MURI (Museum Rekor Indonesia). Surely we would not miss that unique gas station.

Beside the toilets, the gas station also has cafe, prayer room, changing diapers area (babies stuffs) and quite a number of rooms for the travellers to rest or taking a nap. Suprisingly, the toilets were very very clean and neat. The women's toilet was equipped with newspapers to wrap "pembalut" neatly. The rest area was also equipped with CCTV pointing at the parking area, so that travellers can always monitor their cars. The bed is for rent, Rp. 20.000 for 5 hours of nap.

The owner pick the right place for the gas station. Tegal is in the middle of Jakarta and Yogyakarta, so people would most likely need to refuel, rest and lunch. If any other mall has the concept of "one stop shopping", I think the gas station applying the concept of "one stop resting".

It was a very cozy gas station. Checkout the pictures yourself. I would definitely go back there again next year.

last year,i read the article about this gas stat in a newspaper, i've told some friends who have a journey to JKT to take the real pics of this gas stat, but they always forget, ugh..!
in that newspaper, the gas stat's owner has intention to build that same kind of gas stat in the other cities. i believe that the build process of this gas stat needed extra times and efforts.
