Officials held a ceremony (buổi lễ) Monday for removal (gỡ bỏ) of the last public pay phone stall (bốt điện thoại trả tiền) in New York City.

The pay phone was removed with a crane (cần cẩu) from a sidewalk on 7th Ave. and 50th St. in Midtown Manhattan, just south of Times Square, marking what officials called "the end of the pay phone era."

Officials said it was the last public pay phone in the city, but there are still privately owned pay phones and four permanent, full-length "Superman" phone booths.

The city began removing the pay phones in 2015 as they became obsolete and replacing them with public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Since then, the city has removed thousands of pay phones across all five boroughs.

In 2014, there were more than 6,000 active public pay telephones on city sidewalks,
