Presumably, yes. Erik must first demonstrate why he enjoys it so much.
The Skyrail, you see, is not so busy at this time of day at this particular station. Malfunctions are common, too, in all things related to electricity. And so, when the doors of the penultimate carriage fail to open, the passengers waiting around them merely disperse to the adjacent cars—Erik, on the other hand, stands where he is until no more shadows cross theirs, then walks toward one set of doors. Naturally, they open for him, and remain open until just the pair of them has boarded.
As he avails himself of one of the many empty seats, he says, "This is probably illegal." Merely a fact, not meant to impress. It's just that he hasn't been bitched out for it yet, so until then he'll keep doing it whenever he feels like.
All right, maybe he thinks it's impressive... but he hasn't seen half the things John has seen, frankly. Other mutants are still sort of a novelty to him on the whole—which may explain why he's sort of eyeballing the kid now. The train will be moving within the next minute, and it's best, he feels, to wait to talk until they're well in the air.
