equal in safety; more accidents, but much fewer muggings.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death in most places. Even if mugging were a realistic concern (not really), I would greatly prefer being mugged to being dead.
Would be interesting to control for volume. How many people per 100k cars are in an accident, minor or otherwise, vs how many people per 100k riders experience and assault or some other crime. In a rough neighborhood, the bus is not safe at all.
