The Telco here has a policy of leaving the payphones, until they break
Natch, as a youngster, if I could get a ride to go 5 miles, i'd take it.
Ahh, the '70s in the exurbs. . . *aah*
Then came population growth & the '80s. . . *sigh*
I can't recall the last time I saw a pay phone. Of course I don't go around looking for one.
I have a seen a lot of places they were, but gone.

If someone is going that way I'll take a ride.
One time a party I had taken a Lyft, since raining, and a neighbour who lived a few blocks away was there and asked if I could get a ride home since going past my place. They did.
But I would never ask someone "drive me somewhere".
I wouldn't mind going back to the '80s in a heart beat. The '70s up to the mid '80s were good times for me. And before the world started having a collective mental breakdown.
