on the train

Ответ от Анатолий Зинин[гуру]
Travelling
We can go somewhere by car, by train, by subway, by plane, by helicopter, by boat, or by ship. However, if we decide to walk then we go on foot.
Let’s get ready to leave
Before travelling- we get in the car, but we get on the bus, get on the train, and get on the plane
After travelling-we get out of the car, but we get off the bus, get off the train, and get off the plane
You also get on your bicycle, get on your bike, and get on your motorcycle.
When you are finished-you get off your bicycle, get off your bike, and get off your motorcycle.
If you travel on foot, you put on your shoes, and then take them off when you want to relax
Where are you?
You can be on the train or in the train. Here is the subtle difference:
I’m on the train. (I want you to know how I am travelling and I am travelling by train)
I’m in the train (I want you to know my location and I am inside the train)
The same pattern above works for the bus, train, plane, etc…except for the car:
I am in the car. If you say, I am on the car, it means you are on top of the car!

В реальном разговорном языке столько отклонений - мама не горюй! Да ещё в каждом населённом пункте свои особенности. Иногда бывают случаи, что МЫ объясняем ИМ, как правильно говорить на ИХ языке. Сам с таким сталкивался.))
