Could’ve been an airplane too. Could’ve been a falling satellite. Possibility is not the same as probability.
While I’m not fond of bus drivers, they’re more likely to be professionals respecting driving rules and safe working conditions, getting checkups, with the vehicles also getting regular checkups. There are also way fewer buses. The problem is cars.

Seems you’re right and buses are safer overall than cars, as, e.g., this study suggests: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5906382/
Obviously there are lots of different factors to account for to understand exactly why this is!
Yes, I love systems thinking.
That is exactly why we need to teach maths better at school. Especially probabilities and statistics.
People keep believing that wildly different probabilities are the same because “it can happen”.
It’s the very same thing with vaccinations and stuff like that.
