Berlin should leverage some capital from this by leasing the booths to “while-in-car” servicing businesses; tires, brakes, fluids, etc. They can also lease advert (posters) space on the booth walls. Why not?

For me, just the notion – the very idea – of Berlin’s solution negates any pretense of cleverness or cuteness in the naming. They should just call them ‘City-Sanctioned Fuck Booths’ and call it a day.

Regarding workers’ safety, I hope there will be strong security measures in place for these sex workers, regardless of their proximity to other parties involved.
On the business front, How will Uber factor into all of this?

I’d like to consider the pros and cons of this arrangement, but I keep getting distracted by the voice of Marc Almond in my head, singing, “Sex booth, isn’t it nice…”

I’m sure there must be some gigantic German frankenword that covers this situation.

Maybe some naughty, pre-WWII Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht tune could be a source?

I’m afraid I’m leaning towards @Mangochin’s contribution. Both would work though.

I suspect that, eventually, protracted use will result in some very simplified, yet clearly understood name. Das Booth.
