纽约公用电话的终结

纽约公共付费电话即将结束。

纽约市官员说，工人们目前正在将所有公用付费电话从纽约街头撤走。

付费电话过去在城市的每个角落，每个公园和公共场所随处可见。

工程师们已经开始了拆除工作，从这个城市的厨房里拿走了30部公用电话。

在接下来的几个月里，剩下的手机将被淘汰。

纽约市发言人科里·约翰逊（CoreyJohnson）对美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）说：

“陈旧过时的付费电话亭占据了非常需要的人行道空间。

拆除这些摊位对于在拥挤的街区中行走的行人来说是一种胜利。

”

许多纽约人可能根本不会注意到手机的运行。

大多数年轻人从来没有用过。

他们可能需要阅读使用手机的说明，然后争先恐后地寻找硬币来喂手机。

现代技术意味着不再需要公用电话。

超过95%的美国人有手机。

科里表示，纽约人不再需要这些手机。

他说：

“我的办公室收到了许多来自当地居民的投诉，这些过时的付费电话，带来了公共安全和生活质量问题。

此外，他们还占用了急需的人行道空间，可以更好地为残疾人和有婴儿车的家庭服务。

”
