At noon next Tuesday, Stefanie Gray and a group of volunteers will board a subway at Penn Station for a long subway ride.
They’ll be attempting to set a new Guinness World Record (and to draw attention to the M.T.A.’s imminent fare hikes) by traveling the entire subway system in fewer than 22 hours, 52 minutes and 36 seconds, a record set by Chris Solarz and Matthew Ferrisi in 2010.
“It’s all logistics,” said Gray, who coordinates Transportation Alternatives’ campaign against fare hikes. “My background is actually in geography and [Geographic Information Systems], so I’ve been using a lot of complex mapping software to try to figure this out.”
