Fortunately for me, I have not witnessed the locals taking number two like Smokey be hind the trash can.. but this cell phone evidence is exactly why I choose not to eat in the subways in New York…
Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much
This has been an on going issue in New York city for over a year. It’s had many revisions and names which don’t reflect the true nature of the project (Bloomberg’s pet project being probably the latest). The concept for those outside of New York is this:

I’ve heard NYers are perpetually late but unlike most regions there’s an understanding for this lack of punctuality because of situational influences: freak rain, taxi accidents, or train delays. I admit, I’ve used the train delay reason for being tardy a few times, but there have been several justifiable instances where I’m on time [...]

The first transit strike in 25 years has commenced and [...]

MTA Transit Union workers threaten to walk off the job on Friday, should the MTA not agree to the Transit Worker’s Unions demands for a renewed contract of more money and better benefits. With out public transportation, the city would not exist and so the TWU believes a threat of strike, has the city by [...]
