I was thinking this too. We really think alike :lol:.

Put aside the country count for a minute. Looking at the history of WRP in Russia, the chances of TAR leaving Russia by ground transportation are infinitesimal. Possible but highly improbable. If they did in fact go to Riga, they most certainly flew. In every other instance that TAR has gone to Russia, they have left from exactly the same airport they entered. There is one exception and that is TAR 13. TAR entered Moscow at SJO and left Moscow at DOM. So the extremely high odds are that TAR left by air.

I cannot imagine Amazing Racers doing anything but take the New York City subway, as it is far faster than any alternate form of transportation. There are four subway lines at Coney Island (D, F, D, Q) and all go to Manhattan and make a stop at Canal St. That is a small bit south of but about equidistant from two different stations titled Prince. The Canal St. station is a short walk to 32 Prince St. where Lombardi's Pizza is located.

Have we ever had a final episode where teams took public transportation (i.e. subway, bus) in the final city? I can't recall if they did in TAR 10?

If I remember correctly, TAR 10 was a lot of walking, with a long taxi ride to the Finish Line.
I am pretty sure public transport has been used in the final city other than in TAR 6, when teams took the metro from O'Hare to Downtown Chicago.
DrRox:
TAR 1 had to take the elevated train to the park in Flushing, next to Shea Stadium.
theschnauzers:
There are only a handful of cities with extensive mass transit rail systems, and of the final cities for TAR, only Chicago, New York, Miami, and Atlanta have any connecting the airport to the central core; and of those Miami's didn't open until the other week (literally).
The only one besides New York and Chicago then that they could have used was Atlanta, but the finish line location (Swan House) is about a mile from the nearest MARTA rail station in Buckhead. But, in theory, they could have done it there.
