Truly zero deaths won't be achievable without giving up all forms of transport. Public transport kills pedestrians and bicycle riders, and there are even pedestrians killed by bikes. You can certainly reduce the numbers, but you won't get even close to zero.
I wasn't able to find general statistics, only for Cologne/Germany, a city of about 1 million with relatively good public transport.
In 2016, 18 people were killed on the roads of Cologne. 6 of them have been killed by a tram. In 2017, 19 were killed, 4 by tram.
There are no statistics for pedestrians killed by bikes, but last year there was at least one such case in Cologne.
