NEW YORK (WABC) – New York has hung up its last public pay phone.
The city removed the kiosk from the street Monday.
New York started transitioning from pay phones to Link NYC kiosks in 2015. The system offers free Wi-Fi, free phone calls and charging stations.
For those who appreciate the nostalgia, you can still find some private pay phones on public property.
If Clark Kent ever needs to change into Superman, he can find four walk-in phone booths around the city.
