TTY public telephone [Telecom]

Every day the Metropolitan Transportation Authority web page in New York City has a picture.

. Today's picture* (6/25/08) shows a coin telephone with a pullout TTY keyboard underneath. The caption reads, "TTY telephones at many stations help make MTA services more accessible to people with disabilities."

(If you accessible the page after 6/25 they'll be a new picture. Sorry.)

Anyway, this is in response to a query posted here about the availability of text telephones these days. NYC still has many payphones on the streets and a great many in its subway system. Apparently there is enough use that even specialty TTY phones are present and warrant mention.

As an aside, the waiting room for the Long Island Rail Road (a unit of MTA), has wifi. See:
