The chart illustrates the figures for accidents and damages per 100 million PMT by five different means of transportation: Commuter Rail, Heavy Rail, Light Rail, Bus, and Demand Response in 2002.
In general, it is clear that the number of incidents and injuries per 100 million PMT by Demand Response had the highest data in 2002, while the opposite was true for Commuter Rail.
A closer look at the data shows that the number of incidents occurring on Demand Response per 100 Million PMT incidents peaked at 225, while that of sufferings was 173 in 2002. Besides, the number of accidents by Bus was the same as Light Rail which was 76 per 100 Million PMT. At the same time, the figure for damages on the bus was nearly 2 times higher than that on Light Rail.
Regarding different types of rail services, there were 20 incidents and 17 injuries taking place on commuter rail in 2002. Incidents and injuries per 100 million PMT by Heavy Rail were 51 and 35 respectively. Not only would the number of accidents by Heavy Rail be almost 2 times higher than that in Commuter Rail, but this figure for damages was also higher than Commuter Rail details.
