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

I mean, they are pretty rarely on purpose.
The data 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.
Ah yes, what a masterpiece of a campaign. Although other Canadians I've shown it to seem horrified.
I don't know what order of magnitude they're on exactly - they do clearly happen. But, it takes relatively more effort to get run over by a train than a car whizzing by a sidewalk driven by literally whoever.
It’s the homeless outside the trains I worry about. The only train fatality I have direct experience with was a homeless person “taking a shortcut” across a railroad bridge
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.
I mean with malice aforethought by a particular person. Foreseeable or unnecessary accidents are still accidents.
Car oopsy daisies
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–don't get too upset about all the blood and body parts. I'll clean those off my car tomorrow.
Wait till they find out about traffic collisions
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.
Nope.
Yeah, bus collisions tend to have a pretty low fatality rate as well. It seems more like OP just didn't read the graph.
No, he's just saying deaths are big, but even bigger disparity is seen if you include non-fatal incidents.
This would be a lot more persuasive if it included train accidents
