    Okay but, counterpoint, cars kill kids.

    Edit, so I don’t have to keep repeating myself, and because this is important fucking information:

    https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-community/safety-topics/deaths-by-transportation-mode/

    Passenger vehicles are by far the most dangerous motorized transportation option compared. Over the last 10 years, passenger vehicle death rate per 100,000,000 passenger miles was over 20 times higher than for buses, 17 times higher than for passenger trains, and 595 times higher than for scheduled airlines.Other comparisons are possible based on passenger trips, vehicle miles, or vehicle trips, but passenger miles is the most commonly used basis for comparing the safety of various modes of travel.
