- yread 1y agoMaybe CBS counts trams as "passenger cars"? There isn't any other category where they would fit. This article states there were 5 deaths caused by tram in 2022 (out of 15 total) https://openresearch.amsterdam/nl/media/inline/2024/2/12/rapport_move_gemeente_amsterdam_25_jan_2024.pdf https://openresearch.amsterdam/nl/media/inline/2024/2/12/rap... Here is says that indeed cbs doesn't track it and that there were 21 deaths per year caused by trams, buses and trains, with 57% of those pedestrian or cyclist https://swov.nl/nl/fact/openbaar-vervoer-hoeveel-slachtoffers-vallen-er-ongevallen-met-het-ov https://swov.nl/nl/fact/openbaar-vervoer-hoeveel-slachtoffer... this ad-article "Jaarlijks worden er om en nabij 150 personen behandeld in een ziekenhuis na een aanrijding met een tram en komen er zelfs 40 personen te overlijden na een tramongeval." - I think what they mean is 40 people in a decade? https://letselschadekompas.nl/tram-ongeluk-amsterdam/ https://letselschadekompas.nl/tram-ongeluk-amsterdam/ and here are some news: https://www.at5.nl/nieuws/227944/toerist-19-overleden-na-aanrijding-met-tram-op-martelaarsgracht https://www.at5.nl/nieuws/227944/toerist-19-overleden-na-aan... https://www.dewestkrant.nl/dodelijk-slachtoffer-tramongeval-29-jarige-amsterdammer/ https://www.dewestkrant.nl/dodelijk-slachtoffer-tramongeval-... https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/2265358/fietser-overleden-na-aanrijding-met-tram.html https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/2265358/fietser-overleden-na-aa... https://www.at5.nl/artikelen/165946/voetganger-overleden-na-aanrijding-met-tram-in-slotermeer https://www.at5.nl/artikelen/165946/voetganger-overleden-na-... https://www.bd.nl/binnenland/slachtoffer-overleden-na-aanrijding-met-rotterdamse-tram-persoon-lag-urenlang-onder-tramstel~adb727f4/ https://www.bd.nl/binnenland/slachtoffer-overleden-na-aanrij...
- btreecat 1y agoSo what you're saying is the data doesn't support the claim that trams are particularly dangerous, or more dangerous than passenger vehicles?
- yread 1y agoA third of the deaths caused by a 227 trams compared to 100 000s cars? If you see a tram there is >10% chance this particular one killed someone.
