This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's pretty much the point of the chart. Better public infrastructure decrease the deaths from cars.

Or commuting accidents in traffic are rarely fatal.

Both? Both. Massachusetts is right up there as well, and while Boston isn't as large or dense as NYC, a full 50% of the workforce in Boston commutes every day using the T. That's a huge portion of the people who go into and out of Boston daily from outside suburbs and towns who aren't on the roads.
