   The video is cute.  The article notes that since the opening of the   
   Hudson Yards station, there had been no complete system ride, but this   
   guy held the pre-HY record too.   
      
   Also, he did not do it on one fare.  The video shows him jogging   
   through the Bronx, presumably from the end of one line to another.   
      
   I was going to ask if there are any public toilets left in the subway,   
   but with out of system transfers, he didn't need them.
