Never mind that LRT is an order of magnitude and then some (30x) safer than passenger vehicles in fatalities per unit of travel (7.28 death per billion passenger miles vs. 0.24). Oh and unlike passenger vehicles, transit crash rates per capita decline with increased users.
All just facts getting in the way of a good click bait.
