There's no need to block noise so keeping the look is nonsensical.
>>
>>69172800
they could be used as panic/sucide booths, since you mentioned "blocking noise". just get in and be peaceful
>>
>>69172800
People like the look
>>
>>69172631
I have never seen a functional phone booth in Sweden, only in Germany and the US.

We actually have some but I never used one.

We turned some of ours into public bookshelves.

Then again, who reads books?
>>
>>69172631
Could you just stuff people in them and tell them they'll explode if they open the door?
>>
>>69174203

I still see them around, especially in suburbs that have a large aged pensioner population.
>>
>>69174598
wtf if we do this in France people would just think it's toilet and pee over the books.

Public Toilets

>>
>>69175794
this

put a urinal in there, that's what people use them as anyway
>>
Turn them into anonymous butter knife disposal units
>>
Turn them into a vending machine
>>
>>69174203

They are disappearing pretty fast these days.

My school use to have 8 of them for students to use, but by the time I graduated they got removed because almost everyone had a cell phone.

You may still see a couple around public transportation hubs or government buildings.
>>
>>69172631

They're already being used as toilets lad
>>
Me and my m9s use them as joint rolling booths when the weathers bad after nights out
>>
>>69172631
One of these in good condition goes for a lot of money these days - like £5000+.
>>
>>69172631
Makes sense.
>>
We started chucking WiFi on phoney bz like a few years ago because all the data plans are so shit here
>>
>>69172631
When your mobile runs out of battery power, public phones are useful. I want public phones to remain.
>>
>>69172631
They could have charging slots and have a small power bank vending machine.
