Seems you’re right and buses are safer overall than cars, as, e.g., this study suggests: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5906382/

Yes, I love systems thinking.
That is exactly why we need to teach maths better at school. Especially probabilities and statistics.
People keep believing that wildly different probabilities are the same because “it can happen”.
It’s the very same thing with vaccinations and stuff like that.
