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.

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.

Right! I just had a little oopsie while looking at my phone wondering if I should text that cutie who gave me their number at the bar.
