A neat toilet station spread across 300 square feet can seem almost too cool for frequent travelers. But now it is possible to access it with the Doze Pass mobile application. The application, available on both Andriod and iOS stores, has been developed by Chennai-based tech startup Doz Pass Technologies.

Through this, the company provides passengers with subscription-driven access to railway station lounges across India and airport lounges across the world. The company has also recently opened its own road lounge at Tindivanam on the Chennai-Salem highway.

VR Shyam Roche, one of the directors of the year-old startup, claims that the Rode Lounge facility is the first of its kind in the country. “It is spread over 1,800 square feet and apart from toilets, it has chairs to relax, mother’s room facilities and a section for food and coffee,” he says. There are also soundproofed spaces for phone calls, workstations for holding meetings, and a gaming area, all of which can be used for up to three hours during each visit.

Currently, the company offers two memberships; One free which is valid for three months, and another for ₹999, giving users 150 hours of access, which comes to 50 entries.

It has plans to open similar road lounges across the country, with facilities coming up along the Coimbatore-Salem Highway between Madurai and Tirunelveli and Tiruchi and Kumbakonam.

The idea is to help ease the hassle surrounding long road trips. In their Road Lounge, passengers can put their feet up; Parents can change their baby’s diaper in a clean place; and attend work calls without the distractions that come with highway traffic.
