    Pretty sure trains are much safer for passengers. But they get more suicides on the rails.

      The stat is for passenger deaths. People jumping in front of the train are not passengers, so don’t count for that.

      I think what’s likely to be a big cause of train passenger deaths is the derailments they sometimes have in India. Those trains tend to be extremely overcrowded so one derailment can cause a lot of deaths.
