believe it or not, I try to race the subway (as it runs on the surface once it's out of city center).
it gets up to 40-45 km/h but has to stop to let people on/off.
commute time = 30 mins
subway time = 22 min + wait on both ends
when the subway is on the surface, i get passed between stations but if I can average roughly 30 km/h, I can keep pace with it long-term (over a 5km distance)
so, that counts as racing around 1000 people at once right?
