Throne, the smart restroom company at dozens of Los Angeles Metro stations, reached a milestone of 1 million uses last week, the company said.
Metro has partnered with Throne to provide public restrooms since 2023, starting with high-tech toilets at three public stations.
In advance of the World Cup, Metro and Throne wanted to expand their presence in Los Angeles. The company completed those installations on June 4, days ahead of L.A.'s first World Cup match on June 12. Now, 64 locations are operating across the Metro system, according to Throne.
Before the partnership, Metro had just a few publicly accessible restrooms across its coverage area.
In a social post marking the occasion, Throne wrote, “Here’s to the next million.”
