ManaMinori 4,145 October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I realize that it's impossible to hope for 100% safety guarantee, no matter what mode of transport there is. There's risk of danger no matter what, and accidents can happen- whether through fault of your own, or someone else's. buses can get hijacked, fights can occur, buses, taxi's, cars, bikes can get into accidents, etc. But all the same, I want to get opinions on what you guys think is the safest mode of transport, in local areas. Uber? Lyft? Taxi? City bus? Your own vehicle? Bike? 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyashaa 252 October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 I've heard that traveling by plane is the safest. Statistically. Though, death from an airplane can be much more dramatic. I don't really know about land though. I'm guessing taxi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Once In A Blue Moon 895 October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 (edited) It really depends on where you are and what you want to do. I remember listening to a statistics program where they discussed the risks of cycling, motorbiking and driving, and it varied hugely from city centres to rural villages. One point that they did make was that if your objective is to live for longer then the health benefits of cycling (or walking too, I suspect) far outweigh the increased risk (if any) of death due to a road accident - I think on average you added 10 years to your life expectancy* if you cycled a lot due to better health, but lost about two years due to accidents. So that's a net gain of eight years on average. Obviously different countries will have different levels of risks, but I suspect that cycling will help you live longer purely due to increased physical exercise (if you already exercise a fair bit, this will be a case of diminishing returns.) For surviving accidents your best bet would be a car, as they have the most advanced protection systems (on a bike, your knees are the crumple zone) which are constantly improving, although if you are on a motorway or similar then the speed means an accident will pose a significant threat regardless (in a 30mph zone there is very little risk to a car driver.) * I've looked for the source, but I couldn't find it again. I did find one study that suggested that it added ~ five years for high intensity cycling and ~ three years for average intensity cycling for men.

Shadowed Watcher 183 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 I'm gonna go with; Sitting inside a bunker 50 feet underground with 10 ft thick concrete walls and no door or any furniture or anything and specific infini-foods and then never ever ever moving from that one spot. THAT is the safest mode of transport. And the risks are still too high! Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Kay 29 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 We have statistics on this and air travel is the safest form of transportation as measured by distance travelled. "We’re all stories, in the end.

Celtore 2,770 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Statistically, planes, but when things go wrong... Oh boy... Truth be told, I can't think of any safe transportation other than maybe a tank or something of the like. Walking or biking, you could easily get hit or run into a bear or something, driving is out of the question and with kayaking, you could hit a bad lake with waterfalls, whirlpools or radioactive waste. In the open ocean, you need to worry about pirates too, hitting a bad storm, getting marooned or getting capsized. Tunneling is out of the question as well because of potential caving in. ... Yeah, I'm going to have to say an armored vehicle of some kind like a tank or armored bulldozer would be the safest form of transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATA EXPUNGED 324 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) Metro accidents are pretty uncommon, at least here in Russia. I can't speak for the other Metro's abroad, but the Metro System we have here is very safe. Driving by Car in Russia is a completely different story however...

Magic Rasin 180 October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 (edited) Probably flying in a commercial airliner. Those things get checked up and down for possible safety problems. Second choice goes to subways. Outside of being mugged, they are way safer than above ground trains since they're protected from (almost) any possible outside dangers.

Early Sunsets 2,107 February 26, 2021 Share February 26, 2021 Trains, maybe? As long as the traffic control system works as it should, the worst that is likely to happen is you derail, which doesn't seem exceptionally lethal (unless you're on a bridge or next to a cliff). 1 Rainbow Dash Fanatic "You stroll down memories of younger, brighter times 'cause you never realize what you've got till you leave it all behind." ~ dBPony "So we’re here at the end, did we teach you well, my friend?
