I'm sure some statistic exists out there that you're more at risk driving than taking transit, but there's something about being closed in on the train and feeling helpless about the situation (unless you are a MMA badass which I most definitely am not!) that makes it psychologically tougher to handle the risk on the train vs a car. I agree that unless transit is perceived to be very safe, it's a tough sell unless driving is a considerably less convenient (or more expensive) option.
