What is the difference between on the train and in the train?


What is the difference between on the train and in the train? If you can stand up or walk inside the vehicle, use “on.” If you can only sit in the vehicle, use “in.” You cannot stand inside of a car, for example. Here is another way to remember: For private transport, such as cars and trucks, use “in.” For public transport, such as trains, buses and planes, use “on.”


Is it correct to say catch the bus?

Catching a bus describes the process of getting to a stop/station, waiting and boarding. Taking a bus describes the entire process, including the journey itself. Much of the time, the distinction isn't important.


Why is train called train?

A train (from Old French trahiner, from Latin trahere, to pull, to draw) is a series of connected vehicles that run along a railway track and transport people or freight. Trains are typically pulled or pushed by locomotives (often known simply as engines), though some are self-propelled, such as multiple units.


Is it sleep in the train or on the train?

As long as you use on for a bus, train, plane to travel, it means in/into. It doesn't necessarily mean its roof. (Keep it in mind that you get on a bus, plane or train; similarly, when you are travelling, you are on it).
