Do you have any source for this? AFAIK it's not true. Trams and subways specifically kill way less people than cars, even though in many places they transport more people than cars do.
For buses, IDK, but i would be surprised if a single bus was twice as likely or more to kill a person than a car. And a single bus transports way more people than a car.

Subways, trams and buses are not just as dangerous as cars.
It's not cultural, motorized traffic wins because it's more powerful.

Subways, trams and buses will also kill them, that's just as dangerous.
