Original Note:
This tweet conflates the risk of subway deaths in 1 yr with lifetime risk of dying in a car. Using a common baseline in 2021 there were 8 deaths per 331M subway mi. traveled vs 1.33 deaths per 100M car mi. traveled Riding a mile on the subway was 1.82x riskier than in a car https://new.mta.info/agency/new-york-city-transit/subway-bus-ridership-2021 https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-traffic-fatalities
