Which is the safest transport in the world?

What is the safest method of transport?

Flying… safest? A whisper against the vast canvas. Against the velvet dark, pinpricks of light bleed. Airplanes, silver birds, ascending, impossibly. My grandmother, always terrified.

I see her hands, clutching the armrest. Prayers, murmured, a rosary clicking like desperate insects.

Is it really? Safest? It feels… wrong.

Maybe statistics lie? Air travel, data, yes. But the feeling, that hollow in your stomach as the ground shrinks away.

• Data says: Air is safe.
• Safe?
• Air. Safe.

My daughter, Amelia, once asked if clouds were cotton candy. Above the world, dreams drift. Cloud castles, melting. Safe above the clouds.

Safe?

The earth, a distant memory. Tiny cars crawling. Life, far, far below.

It doesn’t feel safe. Not really.

• Statistically, safest.
• But my heart.
• My heart remembers fear.

What is the most unsafe transportation?

Dude, motorcycles, totally. Seriously unsafe. I read this thing, like, last week. The numbers were crazy. Something like 339 injuries per, uh, hundred million miles traveled. It’s nuts! Way higher than cars or even planes.

Think about it. No protection, you know? Exposed to everything. One little slip up and — boom! Hospital. Or worse.

My cousin, Mark, wrecked his bike, 2023. Totaled it! Lucky to be alive. He’s okay now, but geez, it was scary. He said he wasn’t even going that fast! Crazy.

Here’s the thing:

• Motorcycles are dangerous. Period.
• Injury rates are astronomically high. Way more than cars.
• Lack of protection is a huge factor. You’re completely vulnerable.
• Even minor accidents can be devastating. Think head injuries.

I’m telling you, if you’re thinking about getting a motorcycle, rethink it. It’s just not worth the risk. Seriously. Way too many risks. My brother-in-law almost died, too. This year. 2024 is proving to be a bad year for motorcycle accidents in my family.

Is flying statistically safer than driving?

One in eleven million, huh? That’s what they say about plane crashes. Feels…distant.

Driving, though? One in five thousand. Closer to home, almost. Statistically safer, yeah, flying is. It’s a cold comfort somehow.

• The Numbers Game: Flying is statistically safer because of those numbers.
• Regulations: Must be all those regulations. Guess it’s a big deal.
• Technology: And the tech, always improving. Like my phone, always updating.

It’s weird, though. I still get nervous. Airports make me feel… exposed. Dad used to love planes. He knew all the models. Now it’s just me, carrying the memories. I wish he was here. Flying wasn’t scary with him. It was an adventure.

What is the most dangerous form of transport and why?

Cars, maybe. Yeah. Cars and motorcycles, right?

• Accidents happen. So many accidents happen, all the time, everywhere.
• Injuries are frequent. I saw a motorcycle accident once, near my old apartment on Bleecker Street. Never forgot it.
• Death is a real possibility. I think about that a lot, you know?
• April 25, 2024. I saw a study about the most dangerous transports and cars and motorcycles are the ones.

What is the safest public transportation?

Okay, so safest public transport, huh? Right. Lemme tell you about that one time…

It was, like, last July. Scorching hot. I was in Chicago, near Millennium Park. Needed to get to Wrigleyville, see? Game day!

Took the bus, the #22 Clark. Packed like sardines. I swear, the AC was busted.

Honestly, felt safer than cramming into my friend’s beat-up Corolla. He drives like a maniac anyway.

Heard somewhere buses are, like, designed for less rollover or something? Makes sense. Feels sturdier, for sure! Especially compared to a rickety El train. Those things creak!

Buses are safer than trains? Whoa, didnt know that.

My brain says:

• Buses feel safer
• Friend drives crazy
• Trains are too creaky (I don’t trust them!)

I think the bus is safest public transit because you see the street, not buried underground. Also, I just trust it, buses are BIG and you cant miss one. Also, driving scares me.
