I'm sure that all of you can relate to my panic when I couldn't enter the Public Toilets in the CBS Jerusalem Central Bus Station on the departure floor.
Maybe I'm visually impaired, but I couldn't find any clear instructions, neither Hebrew nor pictorial on how to unlock the door. That's besides the fact that the space between the bars is awfully restrictive. A couple of people left, but they were too rushed to instruct me. And I did look panicked, besides obviously a senior citizen.
Miraculously a much younger woman arrived, pulled out a "magic key" from her bag, pressed it onto something and the door suddenly opened for me. I was extremely grateful, to put it mildly. Then I followed the simple logo into the Ladies Room...

Thankfully the toilets were clean and reasonably well-equipped. I didn't photograph inside, because I didn't want to annoy anyone, nor have to explain about this series of blog posts.
I used to consider the CBS to be a convenient and reliable location for those in need of the loo, but now I'm not sure. I'm pretty nervous about relying on them in the future. As you can guess, I was relieved and happy to make my way out.
