How the fuck are ferry and train so high? Must be including suicides for trains, not really use how the ferry gets so much though. Heart attacks on long distance ferry trips? But then would expect similar from planes.

I'd consider those driving motorcycles to be more prone to take risky maneuvers.
Wonder how the graph would change if they drove like regular commuters to the destinations (e.g. not weaving at traffic lights, not speeding for the thrill, no wheelies and other stunts).

I wouldn't expect ferries to be so high compared to the other public transit options, do people go overboard that often, or is it if one sinks its a lot of deaths?

Motorcycle accidents have become very frequent in some twenty years in my region, with Thailand being on top.

Where I live, people are buying up motorcycles because they're cheap and gives them more mobility than a car and most forms of public transportation they deem as frustratingly slow. But with them having little or no formal driving education, coupled with DUI, do have a lot of accidents happening.

So according to this chart, any time I get in a car, I have a 1 in 137,362,637.36264 chance of dying?

That's a lot better than than I thought. I'll take those odds.
