Most people would think twice about flying on airliners knowing that 2885 jumbos crash each year killing all. That is reality of road transport. Severe injuries: 36 thousand jumbos crash landing. Liklihood of being killed on the road is something like 1 in 200 (need to find ref).

  • Electric / fuel cell
  • Human powered


  • Trains
    • Light rail
