Bio-Toilet in Train

I will say bio toilets in train just suck.
The system where the toilet just opened to the tracks was better.
I know that Jairam Ramesh of earlier UPA Govt. had called the Indian Railways as the biggest 'open air' toilet in the world. But it was hygienic. Stuff you empty into the toilet just flowed out into the tracks. If the train was in motion, that was very much better as the stuff would get strewn across in bits and pieces as the person emptied his bowels or bladder as the case may be.
Now what is the situation. I have seen in several trains bio-toilets are installed and we see stuff floating in liquid puddle inside the toilet.
The very sight of it can make you sick in the stomach. Now what is the Govt. trying to do.
For the passengers who travel long distances in the trains, obviously they would want to use the toilets and now after the installation of bio-toilets in several trains, these people risk contaminating diseases as the stuff floats around in the toilets they use.
It is totally yuck and I feel the Govt should avoid installation of these bio-toilets.
In the rush to make Railways toilet-discarge-free, they are making the journey inside the train more horrible.
Things should be made better and not worse. As time progresses that is the demand of things that things should change for the better. Not if you see a liquid mix floating in the toilet, you will dare not sit there or use that. But earlier system where the stuff flows into the tracks below was better and the stuff which goes out there nature (the elements) would take care of it. Except in stations where the cleaning has to be done manually using sprays and stuff.
If the Govt. is really interested in doing something it should learn from planes as to how they use suction system to flush out stuff in the toilets and not floating mass as in the bio-toilets. Things should change for the better that is what I ask.
