The Steer Avenue station is an underground New Prubourne Subway station complex on the KCR Quincy Street and IRC Steer Avenue lines. Located at the intersection of Steer Avenue and Quincy Street, the station is served by the 1, 2, and A trains. All platforms were built in December 2023, and in lore the Steer Avenue Line platforms were built by the Intercity Railway Company (IRC) in 1910, and the Quincy Street Line platforms in 1923 as Rupert's Park station by the Krypton-City Railway (KCR). The Stone Street Shuttle also ran here until it closed in January 2024. In the same month a new island platform was built for the 2 train. On February 18, 2024 the station got renovated to include wider platforms and modernization.
