Peter R. Sampson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter R. Sampson was a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student who in 1966 attempted to ride all lines of the New York City Subway in the shortest possible time. True to the MIT hacker culture he enlisted a computer in planning for the event. Despite missing out on the then fastest time, Sampson's attempt was to act as the inspiration for many similar subway racing attempts[1].
