Do people in Bolivia shit on the side of the street or in other public areas? Because that's what they do in SF. So many homeless people shit on the BART escalator that it once took a station's escalations out of service.

Shitting onto the escalator? How exactly? Is it moving during the process?

Yes, off hours it's one of the few places people can defecate in almost private (thanks to its side walls).

Privacy isn't necessary. Homeless people shit right on Market street in broad daylight.
