In a report that will make you want to travel by car for the rest of your life, the FAA's records detail how "near collision" episodes are frequent and ongoing.
Of course the air traffic controllers should be listened to, since they can predict the future tendencies.
I think railroads have less safety margin in their system, mostly due to having one dimension fewer available. A plane can (and automatically does) stop a collision by ascending or descending. A train can’t do that.
