Jawohl! Our Straßenbahnen kill people all the time, because they take part in regular traffic. If you walk in front of one, it can't steer away!
You need to put the trains below ground, or well above!
Germany here, we don't actually have "plenty" of rails for public transport, we love our Autobahn (no general speed limit!) and our cars, yet our vehicle fatality rates are among the lowest in the world (half that of the US).
The reason that fatalities are 10x higher in Asia is that people drive (and walk!) like lunatics and vehicle fatalities are just shrugged off.
Just be more orderly is basically what I am saying. Also eat more sauerkraut - it's healthy!
