For the New York subway:
"The Guinness World Record and the Amateur New York Subway Riding
Committee Class B Record of 24 hours, 54 minutes, 3 seconds was set by
Bill Amarosa, Michael Boyle, Brian Brockmeyer, Stefan Karpinski, Jason
Laska and Andrew Weir on December 28-29, 2006. Those rules treat each
station in a multi-station complex as a separate station (there are
468 in the system) and they require riding local trains that stop at
every station."
