About 40,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes every year.[1]

How many die on public transit? We tend to hear about it when it happens.

what youre missing here is agency. I have complete control over how safely I drive my car. Sure there are crazy people driving but its best to be in another car than being a person walking when you have a crazy crash. In public transport I have no control over what other people can do to me or my loved ones, I can only react and the law is probably not in my side
