The idiomatic "used to" indicates an earlier state, a previous activity that the subject no longer engages in, or an action that has been superceded by another action. It is equivalent to saying "previously".

Example : "Bill used to save pennies." (which he no longer does)

Example : "We used to go to Brooklyn using the Brooklyn Bridge."(indicating another route is now used)

Example : "The house used to have a front porch." (porch no longer there)
