The chart below shows numbers of incidents and injuries per 100 million passenger miles travelled (PMT) by transportation type in 2002.
The bar chart compares the number of
incidents
and injuries
for every 100 million passenger miles travelled on five different types of public transport in 2002.
It is clear that
most incidents
and injuries
took place on demand response vehicles. By contrast
, commuter rail
services
recorded by far the lowest figures.
A total of 225 incidents
and 173 injuries
, per 100 million passenger miles travelled, took place on demand-response transport services
. These figures were nearly three times as high as those for the second highest category, bus services
. There were 76 incidents
and 66 people were injured on buses.
Rail
services
experienced fewer problems. The number of incidents
on light rail
trains equalled the figure recorded for buses, but there were significantly fewer injuries
, at only 39. Heavy rail
services
saw lower numbers of such
events than light rail
services
, but commuter rail
passengers were even less likely to experience problems. In fact, only 20 incidents
and 17 injuries
occurred on commuter trains.Submitted by ieltsteaching0 on
