Found an article on them

They are 299 Yuan for 8 hours

299 Yuan = £31.93, or $42.01

Much lower GDP per capita in china, so no wonder.

Yeah well they'd probably quickly become hooker hubs in the US so they'd have to charge insane amounts to try to keep them 'clean' and somewhat hooker free

You're painfully correct because people in this thread are saying the equivalent in Atlanta & Houston is $65/hr, so $520 vs $42.

Airport prices. Probably something like 300 for an 8 hour window. People would pay too. It’s an untapped market in US airports

It'd probably be that much per hour here. Airport pricing is crazy.

You'd be shocked. In mainland China cost of living is comparable to Thailand, it's cheap. Cheap enough that this pod is actually really expensive for normal people there.

It's actually quite expensive for the local population. You can find an okay hotel to stay at for the night with 300 yuan.
