Adham Fisher set the record for the fastest time to travel to all Madrid Metro stations in 2017 with a timing of 12 hours, 15 minutes, and 48 seconds. In 2019, he set a new record of 4 hours, 2 minutes, and 10 seconds for the fastest time to all Rotterdam Metro stations. Fisher, who is fascinated by subway systems, holds the records for the quickest trip time to all stations on the Paris Metro and the New York Subway.
