    Roads. Cars and busses will be on roads.

    Tracks. Trains and light rail will be on tracks.

    I’d say both are pretty predictable.

      Train and light rail only capable of moving on track, while car can be driven everywhere, even on pedestrian path. How is train and light rail as predictable as car

      Consider what happens when a train passes through a place where pedestrians cross vs. what happens when cars do the same.

      How often do trains pass through places they’re not allowed to at times they’re not allowed to? How often do cars? (Red lights, stop signs, yield signs…)

      How often do trains veer off course of the line they’re moving in (aka. change lanes)? How often do cars do it?

      I have definitely heard of children being killed by a car while waiting for a bus in a bus shelter several metres away from the road

      I have read about cars smashing through walls of houses

      I have read about a car used to kill the children of the driver in a lake well away from the road

      Cars are not guaranteed to be on roads when they are killing people
