Ari Bayme was riding an empty subway car when a group of singers came on board and started to practise their stuff. A minute later, the subway conductor came in. ‘That was pretty good guys,’ he says, ‘but what about a little Sam Cooke?’

Turns out he’s more than one kind of conductor.

Anyone know his name? He can check our ticket any time…
