Every day the Metropolitan Transportation Authority web page in New
York City has a picture. www.mta.info . 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: http://www.mta.info/lirr/service/PennWireless.htm
