        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.

      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
