Here in the metro DC area, of late, it's somewhat understandable. Over the last 28 years we've had numerous collisions/derailments, the most recent being June 2009 that killed 9 people.
Not to mention the unfortunately semi-regular Metrobus squashings. About every 5 years or so, a metrobus runs over/squashes someone or multiple people.
But the reality is, despite these accidents, there are far fewer bus wrecks and train wrecks than car wrecks. Every morning, the traffic reports are filled with major and minor car accidents. Accidents involving public transit are few and far between.
