Steven's oblivious to any negative attention he might be getting. He's way more interested in the trains than the people on the platform. Besides, it makes sense that people who live here and see trains every day would be unfazed by them, just like how the other Crystal Gems don't get as excited about warping as he does.

Once the train has trundled out of sight, he gives the Balladeer his full attention again. "Beach City gets a lot of tourists in the summer," Steven says with a sage little nod. Not as many as New York, he'd guess, but he's familiar with the concept. People like to visit cool places! He hasn't seen much of New York yet, but he can already understand why tourists would want to come here.

He can't help making an excited keening sound as their train pulls up and they finally get to step aboard. "Oh man oh man oh maaaan." He hops right up onto the seat and presses his face close to the window. He has just enough time to realize that the view probably won't be very exciting - just an endless stretch of tunnel wall - before the Balladeer points out the map. "Which stop are we going to?" he asks, peering at it. Which stop are they at, even? He wasn't exactly paying attention on the way down, but he remembers the Balladeer saying he usually just walks. That probably means the train ride won't be that long.
