David Dean: I see

David Dean: I see comparing numbers from different sources fit your predetermined outcome. Fortunately most people are intelligent enough to see through your quackery.
JK: Please provide an example of your accusation where the outcome would be affected.

As to MAX killings. I used local deaths data from Trimet and local newspapers. The automobile deaths is also a local number, so what’s you problem?

The fact that the result is a three to one difference, means that one of the data sets could be off by 2:1 without affecting the overall conclusion that MAX KILLS AT A HIGHER RATE THAN CARS.

MAX also costs much more than driving at a system average of $0.43 per passenger mile USING TRIMET DATA (not including right of way construction, station construction etc.)
For comparison driving a car costs much less at $0.331 per VEHICLE-mile using national data, or $0.25 per passenger-mile at typical Portland occupancy.(including almost all road expenses.)

MAX is also much slower at about 1 ½ hour from Gateway top Hillsboro.

Thanks
JK
