      Some still survive but mostly just for tourists to take a picture next to. Hardly any of those left, even the “modern” ones, actually have a working phone.

      Yeah, why would you spend money clearing out trash, piss, and shit from them when everyone has mobile phones.

        I’m just sad I won’t get the authentic experience of pissing in one anymore.

      They do exist in some towns, but they stopped making new ones a long time ago. They are expensive to maintain. No one uses payphones anymore so new ones aren’t being built anyway.
