I wish this stat also made it into the stories about the tragic crash today, along with need for funding public mass transit infrastructure to make it even safer.https://twitter.com/ambientlion/status/942831851021918208 …

Of 535 highway fatalities in WA state in 2016 very few made news. People have visceral reactions to mass transit. http://wtsc.wa.gov/wp-content/uploads/dlm_uploads/2014/09/Washington2008-2017.xls …

Not to say this isn’t tragic and work should be done to avoid such accidents. We just need to re-examine how we think about transit safety.
