    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 - 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
