A few months ago, I was reading about the NYC subway system when I came across the Subway Challenge, which entails visiting all 472 stations in the shortest possible amount of time without leaving the system. The current record for this challenge is just under 21.5 hours.
Similar documented feats have been accomplished in other cities, including Chicago, Washington D.C., and London; however, I cannot find evidence of this occurring in Portland, Oregon. At this time, the TriMet rail system (MAX+WES) in Portland includes 101 stations. I would like to visit all 101 of these stations, on a single $5 all-day pass, in the shortest amount of time.
Here is my proposed route, which contains 14 segments and should take 7 hours and 25 minutes:
I plan on taking a picture at each station to document my attempt.
If anybody has suggestions, I would very much like to hear them. Complete MAX and WES schedules can be found on the TriMet website.
