Public phone at the train station

Who here used to call their parents from the train station's public phone? Because there was no direct connection to home before mobile phones, most families devised a strategy of using the public phone at the train station or near the bus stop. Allow it to ring twice or three times before hanging up, and your mother will know that you were waiting for a ride. We also figured out a way to get a free call. Just hang up before the operator connects you.
