Can pigs be potty-trained?

I was thinking today about pet pigs (bored on the bus), and I had the sudden image of myself trying to convince the bus driver to let me bring a pig on board. That made me wonder, can pigs be house-trained?
If no-one here knows I may try over in the farming forum.

they are supposed to be just as intelligent as dog's, if not more so, so probably.

From what i recall pot bellied pigs are easily potty trained using a large litter box and by placing the water into the litter box to get the pig to step into it, as pigs tend to pee whilst drinking- i cant be 100% on that but thats what i remember!

pigs are very clean sociable animals and can be trained .They use one corner of the pig sty as a toilet and can be litter trained.
