Automatic doors for accessible public toilets.

I am a long time electric wheelchair user.
I recently had a young friend who is in her first chair. She asked me the best way I open accessible public toilets.
I tried to Google information without success.
I then thought about my own experiences.
Why are the doors not automated?
Even having them free swinging both ways would make access easier.

Why is this important?

It's difficult enough to navigate around our communities. Yet having to wait to ask for help to open toilet doors is frustrating, embarrassing and inhibits confidence for independent travel.
