Shooting from the hip: If you have to shift from a standing position when entering, you ride *in*. The ability to walk on board equates with the use of *on.*
Does anyone have a handy explanation of why we say we're 'on' a bus or train, but 'in' a car or truck?

Hi Marc, when I commute to work it's always 'on' the train (as demonstrated, pls see illustration). I guess that's why we use the preposition in that way.pic.twitter.com/nB7SXEGYfh
