It seems like it would be useful to show relative risk per passenger mile in addition to vehicle mile. I don’t think that’s in the study, and I can’t find average bus utilization. For example, if cars and light trucks carry 1.5 passengers on average (made up number, but I’m sure it’s less than 2) and buses carry 20 passengers, then buses would be safer for pedestrians. Assuming you can “trade” light passnger vehicles for buses on a 1:1 passenger mile basis, which isn’t perfect, but it’s relevant. Edit: this report [0] says buses average 9 passengers, cars average 1.58, and pickups average 1.46.
