If with great power comes great responsibility, is it not Spider-Man's duty to traverse New York City as efficiently as possible? Surely situations exist where utilizing the expansive MTA can be more beneficial to Peter Parker than web-swinging across the city. On today's episode of Modern Muckraker, we determine precisely when and where Spider-Man is better of swiping his card than slinging his webs.   Thanks to our experts: Ryan Penagos (Marvel) Lorraine Cink (Marvel) Dr. Rhett Allain (Southeastern Louisiana University, Wired)   Discussed in this episode: NYC's PLUTO file "Should Spider-Man Swing or Run?" by Dr. Rhett Allain Mike Schubert's Ferry Critique   Credits: • Created, Hosted, and Produced by Mike Schubert • Written by Adam Mamawala and Mike Schubert • Editing, Scoring, and Sound Design by  Brandon Grugle  • Senior Project Management by Fredia Lucas • Research by Alyssa Esteban • Theme by Evan Cunningham • Art by Jessica E.
