In 2023 exactly two Uber passengers died in NYC. One from jumping out of their moving vehicle onto the LIE and the other from being rear-ended by a drag racer on the Whitestone Expressway. The alternative to taking the subway for the vast majority of NYC residents is not driving to work. And as an Uber passenger living in NYC I overwhelmingly spent my time on roads that were not highways. I can't find exact taxi pass…

> between 2019 & 2023 there were 23 passenger fatalities across all rideshare services and taxis Which is way more than the total number of homicides on the subway system. All of this is before adjusting for trip frequency. (Uber and Lyft do about a fifth of the trips as the subway.) I lived in New York for 10 years and go back frequently.

Now I'm wondering what the longest Underground trip is without visiting a given line more than once. Probably needs a rule about the District and Circle lines where they overlap since you could get a lot of mileage out of that. (I calculated the shortest one that includes all lines back in the early 2000s but they've obviously changed things around since then.)

My gut feeling would be Chesham/harrow/rayners lane/hammersmith/edgeware/earls court/green park/stockwell/embankment/elephant/bank/aldgate east/liverpool st/bond street/baker/kingsx/cockfosters A route out to Epping via Newbury Park would be another option though, probably elephant/bank/kingx/green park/bond instead.
