The MTA's single-ride fare lets you travel as far as you can without exiting the system. This game replicates that constraint on a stylized map: pick a start, plan a route, see how many stations you can hit before backtracking forces you out. Devious because the NYC system's loops mostly require crossing the East River, and the express/local distinctions matter. Free.
