Because the failure rate per passengers transported is much much lower in a traditional transportation system. All the passengers that they will move per day (and a bit more), with 187 travels, are moved in one minute by just two trains in an underground system. So you have to multiply the risks by the increased travels needed to move the same amount of people. A ratio of ~95 seems quite a lot to me..
