Which one is correct in the bus or on the bus?
We should use “in the bus” when we are inside the bus and the bus is stationary, and “on the bus” when we are inside the bus and the bus is moving.
What is the difference between on a bus and in a bus?
Generally, if you are telling someone you are going somewhere by bus, then you are “on” the bus, that’s the correct usage. There are some cases where you might say in the bus, inside as opposed to outside, but generally you would say you are riding on the bus.
Why do we use on the bus not in the bus?
When you get on to a bus, you are walking on to it, then walking to your seat. Like with a plane, boat and train – you’re able to walk around in the space. In all these vehicles we don’t get space to stand up inside, so we use “get in”.
What is the difference between train and bus?
So, what’s the difference between a train and a bus? In principal, both are means of transportation to get from place A to place B. The major difference is that one needs tracks, while the other just requires a road.
Are trains or buses better?
Trains scale better than buses. Each traincar can hold more people than a bus, and trains can be run at long lengths and at higher frequencies than buses. The number of buses required to fully replace the capacity of a full subway line at rush hour frequencies exceeds one per minute.
Why are busses better than trains?
Trains offer fewer departure and arrival times- For most popular routes, there are only one or two trains operating per day. You have to leave at those times. Buses often operate on a much more regular schedule. For example, between two big cities, there may be a bus leaving every half hour.
What if we could just ride the rails instead of buses?
It would make rail transit feasible in those areas that don’t have the population density to support a lot of stations, and make mass transit a more viable option for exurbs. Riders could simply hop on at a bus stop in their neighborhood, then ride the rails to their destination. Photos by Flickr user NeiTech.

How does a Japanese train work?
It drives just like a bus on the road, and a hydraulic system raises the tires and lowers the steel wheels as the driver guides the vehicle onto the tracks. Japan Rail provides rail service for the island of Hokkaido, and about one-third of its lines carry less than 500 people.
