Every stop. Every line. By heart.
Antoine WhiteThe Conductor
The Lexington Avenue line. The Staten Island Railway. The buses across all five boroughs. If you need to get somewhere in New York, he already knows the way.
Some people learn one route. Antoine carries the whole map — the subway, the buses, and the Staten Island Railway — in his head, stop by stop. The thing he loves most is simple: telling people how to get where they’re going. This is his line.

His favorite ride
The 4 Into Grand Central
Ask Antoine for one ride and this is it — the Lexington Avenue express pulling into the heart of Midtown.
Lexington Avenue Express
It’s the new cars he loves, the ones that run the Lex. Smooth and quiet. You feel the gentle bump in the middle of the car when the train leans into a curve, but it never gets loud. Just the calm of the express gliding under Lexington Avenue, all the way into Grand Central.

The borough he knows best
The line almost every transit map forgets. Antoine knows it best of all — end to end, down the island.
Favorite stop: Stapleton
Explore the line →St. George - Bricktown Mall
A whole second network
Where the trains stop, the buses keep going. The S78 is the one he knows cold — out to the mall and down to the ferry, all 225 stops.

Smooth, quiet, and steady
Antoine’s favorite trains are the new cars. What he notices is what most riders miss: the soft bump right in the middle of the car when the train takes a turn — the way the cars flex and lean without ever getting loud. No screech, no rattle. Just a calm, even ride. It’s the part of the system he loves most, and the reason the Lex feels like home.
All aboard
