Guess the SUBWAYDLE in 6 tries.
Each guess must a be a valid subway trip involving 3 trains using available transfers between them.
You need to guess a specific set of three trains that can make the trip.

Another train that shares the same routing as the
The
The
Multiple routings may be possible to make the trip, but your goal is to find the one routing that matches the puzzle of the day. The solution may or may not be the fastest or efficient routing. It should also be noted that in the New York City Subway system, there are multiple stations with the same name.
No back tracking: No stations can be traveled through more than once.
Transfers are only allowed if and when lines diverge (i.e. if two lines are making the same stops, you can't switch back and forth between them, You can switch from a local line to an express line then back to the same local line, but you can't switch from an express line to a local line back to the same express line).
Transfers are allowed to/from St George station via South Ferry, Whitehall St–South Ferry or Bowling Green stations (using the Staten Island Ferry). Transfers are also allowed between stations with free out-of-system transfers. It is assumed that all stations allow transfer in all directions, even when they're not physically possible in real life (limitation due to this data is not being publicly available).
Routing for each train line is based on midday schedule (i.e. no peak-direction express, no peak-only branches, no Z, B goes to Bedford Park Blvd). Weekend puzzles are based on regularly-scheduled weekend routings.
