Davey, a former Massachusetts transportation secretary, will be the first permanent leader of New York City Transit since the pandemic began. The effect was one that the 23-year-old brothers, whose band is called Blac Rabbit, have grown somewhat accustomed to over years of playing in the subway, their effervescent vibe seemingly as infectious as the Beatles songs they cover (“Love Me Do,” “Eight Days a Week” and “Another Girl,” among them). The brothers kept playing with Amiri turning to face his brother as they sang. Cellphone cameras were pointed in their direction.
The people waiting on the platform perked up. “Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,” the brothers sang, echoes of John and Paul in their voices. None of them paid any attention as Rahiem Taylor strummed his bass guitar and his twin brother, Amiri, tried to reattach the strap to his acoustic guitar. A tide of commuters came and went as a Brooklyn-bound F train stopped at the 14th Street station in Manhattan, and a smattering of others milled around the platform, staring at their phones or nothing at all as they waited.
