And you think people walking have more agency over a car coming and crushing them? That's why I said it's best to be a in a car in a car crash because that way you're protected. I'm not even against public transport is just simply not more safe than private transport

And you think you have more stuck with a car in front of you and beside you? Or active cars going through the intersection while you're supposed to be stopped? Or merging into you when you have cars in front of you and behind you and beside you? You have the same agency, probably less in that car stuck in traffic.
But if you were in a bus, you'd have a much larger vehicle and have far less energy imparted to you as a passenger, or if you were on a light rail you wouldn't even be in the intersection in the first place. Better yet, that drunk would be on the bus instead of being forced to drive and cause the accident in the first place!
Every statistic shows transit is far safer than cars.
You're clearly not thinking through the scenarios through to actually analyze which leads to more agency and outcomes which is what you really care about. Spend some time reflecting before you reply and give actual concrete examples please.
