Please allow me to settle this question.
The proper name for public toilets depends on the context and region:
Formal / International English: public restroom, public toilet, or simply toilet
British English: public conveniences, lavatory, WC (water closet)
American English: public restroom, bathroom (though “bathroom” is often used even without a bath)
Signage shorthand: WC, 🚻 symbol, or “Ladies / Gents”
If you mean the official, urban-planning term, municipalities often call them “public conveniences” or “public sanitation facilities.”
This should resolve this particular debate. The moderator should lock this thread.

Varying answers, but most often bathroom.
Sometimes I call it “The land patrolled by Judge Judy.”

I call bullshit. Hal 9000 would say toilets are a "superfluous relic of the time of humans"
