public transport will not be safer in general than private transport unless you have a special circumtance
How many die on public transit? We tend to hear about it when it happens.
You think everyone injured in a car accident caused the accident?
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.
Think about how you feel safer in that giant SUV compared to a subcompact. Then remember the bus is significantly larger than the SUV even comparing the SUV to the subcompact. Which "wins" in the accident? Now think of the light rail train, even larger than the bus.
I'd rather not even have to be in the path of a drunk driver in the first place. Maybe we could redesign our cities ahead of time so those drunks could walk or ride the bus or bicycle instead of getting behind the wheel. Impossible, I'm sure.
You seemingly can't even imagine a world where one doesn't need to get in a car to go to a bar or go get groceries, it's just assumed both of these people and you will have to be in a car and share the path.
Once again you haven't actually logically thought about these differences. Think about it again before you reply.
