When you try your best but you don't succeed. Yep he has so do it again for the third time.

It's done! If y'all wondering. Expanding now.

That is... If they ever open

Electric scooter go *SKRRRRRRRT* edit: he’s fairly young too but his dependence on the scooter can also kinda ease the 8 miles a bit. Also, if there’s an electric skateboard it could help with transporting it on and off the train but idk if it makes the record invalid because you use a vehicle to assist you.

@@datboi1026 whole community out there. I did a pre covid 472 in just over 29 hours on one MetroCard swipe.

north bronx is just upsate ny or africa

I heard The Bronx is where Australia is 🙈

@@leonmozambique533 😂😂😂

im an NY nerd, i pretty know the neighborhood every subway station is in lmao

Took us 30 hours, but we did the 3 new stations, now the record is at 472: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7WFdc5907PViIE.html

@@BoundlessKimera fix the video

I think there's a separate record for that.

When did you do it?

@@DavidPlass before MetroCard Unlimited definitely.

@@directionoftravel6172 June 2018.

Yup. It was base on one fare. Lax ruled

@@samuelwong8193 , :

It did. Now likely best time you will until 24/7 service is restored is 27-28 hours.

i will steal his record

@@jesusmoreno4062 lmao good luck on visiting all the stations in 21 hours with 45 minutes of sleep

all stations not all lines

Lmao remember when we thought they were gonna open in 2017

around 24 hours lol with optimal transfers. Want to do this someday?

I would argue between unlimited MetroCard and how the London tube challenge works I can make the argument to split it in two, the unlimited division and the one swipe division. I think the one swipe is the fairer test.

Hi. I'm writing something about this and am intrigued by the "American version" (not leaving the system) and the "British version" (leaving the system - happens all the time in London). Why is there such dislike of the latter? As far as I know, the first few record holders did not leave the system. The Amateur New York Subway Riding Committee was set up by some fellow riders in the mid-1960s to determine some rules for competition, one of which was that leaving the system was not allowed. However, the co-founder and record administrator moved away from the New York area in the early 1970s and had nothing more to do with the Committee. It has not functioned for a long time since then. Some time later, Guinness took up the reins. The no-exit rule has been followed rather strenuously since, and it's only in recent years that it has been ignored. But there's never been a definitive way of doing it, because there were also three different versions (records) of covering the system according to the ANYSRC: Classes A, B and C. Class A involved riding on every section of track at least once. For Class B, one had to stop at every station, but not necessarily cover every section of track. For Class C, one had to travel on every line, but not stop at every station; some could be bypassed with express trains when possible. Class C was essentially travelling to both ends of every line but it didn't matter how one did it; if an A train had gone non-stop between Rockaway and Inwood, that would have counted. Naturally, because Class C took the least amount of time, I believe most record hopefuls used that variant. I've only found one attempt that was apparently a Class A under ANYSRC rules, and none for Class B. The whole thing was unequal. There was no point in comparing a Class A holder with a Class C one. If the subway were a 400m race, Class A would start at 400m, Class B at 375m and Class C at 300m. Furthermore, Class B required stopping at complexes on every serving line (which would be 469 stations today), and Class C only required you to stop on one line (424). The Guinness record is the equivalent of the Class B, and I think it's the fairest way of judging it, because each station is a unit of measurement for traversing the system. Allowing system exits might be frowned upon, but that's Guinness's version, and it does give the option of staying in. As there was no prior 469-station holder, Matthew could stayed in, but why would he do that and restrict himself to a slower time? ANYSRC was never an official body. Guinness is. ANYSRC themselves said that it was impossible to come up with rules to the agreement of everyone, hence the Classes. Guinness has at least tried to do the best it can, and they give options. They would accept no-exit records, but there would come a point at which one could go any faster without exiting. If one were desperate enough for the title to exit, it would become a Guinness-only record thereafter. If you didn't want to exit, you'd have to attempt the record as soon after a new station opens as possible. I will accept, however, that this approach could be considered unfair towards those who don't. One can disagree with Guinness's guidelines, of course, but to dismiss an achievement adhering to them is a bit unnecessary. All these are just interpretations, and there are many more. A couple went to every station in Manhattan only, alighted, took a selfie and jumped back on. Some people don't personally consider the system done until they have alighted a train and boarded a different one at the same station. In London, where exiting the system is prevalent, there are dozens of partial challenges based on everything from the names of stations to the shapes on the map, and they can be as competitive as the whole network. It's all subjective. No organisation or individual owns this activity, including Guinness, and I don't think anyone can say that any way of doing it is "bogus". I'd welcome further discussion. Thanks.

@@directionoftravel6172 Guinness is an "official body" because they say they are.

That could be the same for anything. Being "official" is certainly subjective too. Why is exiting the system frowned upon? And have you ever attempted a record journey yourself?

@@directionoftravel6172 Sorry for the curt answer. It's late and I'm tired. This is a subject more suited to discussion over a glass of beer. Or two. Or stout -- I like Guinness, for drinking, if not for reading. I am not interested in sports, and never have been. I was in the band in high school -- to me, football was something they did before and after the band show Friday nights in the fall. To be concerned about hundredths of a second when someone has run a marathon strikes me as somewhat silly. Besides, the length of the Marathon today has changed from the race in 1896. There may be an asterisk by the record. Don't know. Not even interested enough to look it up. It's just my feeling that if you're going to ride the subway, you need to cover all publicly available lines, but not necessarily every track. The rules may be different for other systems; New York has many unique qualities, in the 24/7/365 service, the single fare regardless of distance or time, the complexity of routings, the number of stations. In Chicago and Boston, there were and may still be termini where you MUST leave the system, and another fare required to continue. It's not really possible to make comparisons between systems. And as for getting off at each station and taking the next train -- sheesh. In New York that would take days!

@@directionoftravel6172 Before 1996 (unlimited metrocards) that was the quickest/least expensive way and guinness didn't quite have the stranglehold it does now.

Ayy, Dyre Avenue rep up. Me and my friend just hit all 472, new record: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7WFdc5907PViIE.html

Rail Faner , unlimited pass, which is probably taken our of paycheck. Currently pro rate on that is just under 4.00 USD a day.

David Rivera Oh ok, I remember those now.

He ain’t gonna out that out there nope

No

Bam, New Record Any%, now with all 472 stations: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7WFdc5907PViIE.html

There is a guy in London that has done all the Underground stations more than twenty times.

I'm surprised he actually sweats.i thought. ...

Planning the route can take months of schedule review, and trackwork announced only a few days prior can force an entire rerouting of your planned route.

Starting with the 1 train is better

@@nyctransitrailfan 💩 trashums?

Rockaways = time eater almost as bad as the upper left corner of the Metropolitan line on the London Underground.

David's life It’s actually three (72nd Street, 86th Street, 96th Street). Lexington-63rd is a pre existing station expanded for additional service.

Me and my friend decided to do the chellnege even without the overnight, so all 472 have been completed officially: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7WFdc5907PViIE.html

Because the stops are like 1000 feet apart! NYC is at least 5 blocks apart and has so many car models and lines and London has... One

Nyc Subway Kiddd london has 10 lines exculding DLR and London Overground

The stations in the underground are a lot more spread out compared to the stations in NYC hence why the 19hr time. Isn't the record held by Geoff Marshall?

@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials at one point but even he has been usurped.

I am sure it was a tag out situation. If it were the same guy then yes. The tech on that is murder. How do you get enough battery packs to document?

No he did on an unlimited pass otherwise it would be $22.00 in fares.

No but there is a train for Staten Island

HVAC Guy That’s the Staten Island railway. It is not connected to the subway system, so no subway lines can run on it and it’s trains must be trucked over to Coney Island Yard for heavy maintenance.

Dude, this is NY in the summer time we're talking about. The temperatures can go up to 90 degrees in NY you know, and sometimes in a occasion of a heatwave temperatures go up to 100 degrees. NY ain't in Antarctica. NY only gets cold weather like that in the winter, not all year around.

Hells Wind Well the transportation in NY is actually called the MTA (which stands for Metropolitan Transportation Authority). And yes, it does go outside as well as being underground too. Especially in the new tech trains, it is nice being in them during the heat cause they have AC's. However the heat only lasts from June to early September. Throughout the rest of the year it's either warm, lukewarm, or cold. I've lived in Los Angeles (still do now but I'm planning on moving back to New York) and let me tell you, the heat here is way worse than in NY. I'm not much on a heat person so I don't enjoy it all that much. One time during the summer the temperature got up to 120 degrees and unfortunately due to climate change, it's bound to get hotter each passing year. BUT the good thing is that in LA it gets as low as 40 degrees in the winter.

Manhattankid10 awesomely big cities with evolving 'problems', call for new innovative measures, ones we haven't witnessed before as things that tend to change do that in a rather drastic, rather _dramatic_ fashion... I mean big cities, so called metropolis (and probably beyond) have been known to have 'issues' which came by but also were resolved... due to ingenuity and engineering. We, everywhere need to 'roll' with the times, or we'll surely be 'left behind'... I mean I can't even imagine the World as is now, compared to how it used to be just seems... 'everything' seemed to be so much simpler in a sense. With these changing times there seems to be no end to 'progress' (which has its 'toll') and who knows what the future might bring, one thing comparing times with _before_ is that; we, as people always seemed to manage. So I take it, in time, that this will be 'no issue'. At least; _I hope._

ps, have fun _city-hopping_ ;) That's great!

+Hells Wind Couldn't have agreed more with your comment. Thanks!
