I don't feel like doing the exact math, but there are rows of JOTS every few blocks inside the city semicircle. It's harder to find a potty the further from the city you wander.

Generally speaking, they are wonderfully maintained. You sometimes find a dirty one after a late night of partying, but this is to be expected in my opinion.

Why is it that (looking at a map) from 6 to 2 the banks are on the right hand side and from 6:30 to 10 they are on the left hand side?

37 to 40. Possibly 42 as crypto suggests. I may have forgot a few potty banks.
