Rayn is incredible! My son has been passionate about transit since before he could talk, and this is the first time I met someone who could teach him so much that he didn’t already know about the NYC subway. It’s clear that Rayn is passionate about the subway and loves sharing his knowledge with others. My son and I often take trains for 4-6 hours at a time just for fun, and Rayn pointed out so many details that we’ve never noticed. He knows how the system works, the history, what’s coming next, everything. Highly recommend it.
