I'm curious what someone who actually knows NYC could do.
74 stations, 41.42 miles, 3:23, 4 boroughs, $3.00 fare Starting from Pelham Bay Park on the 6

In fairness a couple of my connections required knowledge of express vs local stops and I don’t think it’s fair to expect an out of towner to know that!
My strategy was to avoid midtown as long as I possibly could because so many lines intersect there. It's funny how you end up leaning on the part of the system you know best. For me that was Brooklyn. Atlantic Terminal is really key there. Could probably have made more mileage out of Queens/Bronx but wasn't confident.
More importantly, I need to put this thing down before I lose the entire day.
Definitely don't know the system like some people do, but: 102 stations, 60.09 miles, 4:19, 4 boroughs, $3.00 fare: 6 > M > 7 > D > Q > S > C > A.
Fun game :)
The Prospect Park S is such a weird train. I love it.
First time playing.
133 stations, 71.73 miles, 5:28, 4 boroughs, $3.00 fare
My route was 6 to R to 7 to L to J to M to F to N to D to 4.
The game was somewhat frustrating because despite the animation slowing down at transfer stations I still find myself thinking too slowly to press the right transfer button. I missed some transfers that could make it longer. I wish there were a pause button. I generally don’t like games where thinking is combined with reaction times so I didn’t feel like playing it a second time.
(Not from NYC, but)
I found it hard to navigate due to not being able to see far enough ahead and not knowing which transfer to take to head in the direction I want (is it Ⓡ Forest Hills-71 Av or Ⓡ Bay Ridge-95 St to head left/East at Lexington Av/59 St?). So, uh, I planned ahead using the subway diagram [1] (is that cheating?). I got:
127 stations, 69.92 miles, 5:02, 4 boroughs, $3.00
