Next stop: Pleasure!

We’re wrapping up 2024 by celebrating NYC’s trains and rails — subways, Metro-North, the Long Island Railroad, even the High Line. Live out the exhibitionist or voyeur fantasies of adding some flavor to your daily ride. Linger on the intimate gestures of swiping a MetroCard and cranking a turnstile — or just swing that emergency exit wide open to let someone in. Dress in a tunnel-ready jumpsuit or a commute outfit, or live your no-pants fantasy.

(If you’re already growing excited about getting held by a train dispatcher, take a momentary delay to signal in the #cruising channel on our Discord server.)

Before you transfer to another line of thinking, be sure to read our updated COVID policy below!!!
