  Excuse me–i think they’re called car accidents and you just hate freedom.

    I mean, they are pretty rarely on purpose.

    The bar for accidental transit deaths is probably even lower.

      I don’t know, they did write the song “Dumb Ways To Die” to prevent transit accidents.

      It depends on what you mean by “on purpose.” You didn’t mean to hit that light pole, but there was a lot of intentionality around the decision to drive and the decision to build a car-based society that is very much “on purpose” and the effect of that is deaths due to cars.

    Am I missing something, or was that the point of this post?

      The graph shows deaths. I’m sure there are quite a few more collisions that don’t end in death, but possibly severe and lasting disabilities. You don’t see a lot of subway cars colliding with other subway cars. I’m sure plenty of people run into buses though.
