abstract="Research problem This paper reviews and summarises studies of the risk of non-collision injuries to public transport passengers. Non-collision injuries include injuries when boarding or alighting and falls onboard as a result of e.g. sudden braking. It was possible to reconstruct exposure to risk for eleven studies, providing a total of twelve estimates of risk for boarding and alighting and twelve estimates of risk for falls onboard.   Results The mean risk of falling in a moving vehicle is about 0.3-0.5 per million passenger kilometres. The mean risk of injury associated with boarding or alighting is about 0.8-1.7 per million passengers.   Variability of results Estimates of risk are uncertain and vary substantially from study-to-study, largely for unknown reasons. Half of the estimates of exposure to risk were rated as very or somewhat uncertain.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
