Massive disaster!

I still wonder how this adds up against the constant daily carnage of automobile transportation?

EU statistics say that per km traveled there are 28x more deaths when traveling by car then by train. With trains you basically don't get passenger deaths except those which end up in media. Also in the train related deaths almost everything are not passengers but people on tracks or level crossing users.
