Payphones are a bit rarer now.
I do have a cell phone and I've occasionally wound up letting other commuters use mine. The people who ask nicely usually offer a dollar or so to offset the cost of the call, and since I am standing right there are unlikely to be calling Zimbabwe or anything.
I occasionally wonder if I am a pushover, or if anyone else ever actually says yes when a stranger asks to borrow their phone.
