I was living in Japan and my correspondent friend said an “American journalist was born,” and he said it is “on plane “, “on train,” “on bus”, but in a car. Or at least on a plane, “if you are getting lucky I shouldn’t die”, “I want to die without pain.” ” “The reason is very simple: you could stand inside all those things and walk around if you wanted, whereas in a car you have to be seated. What do you say on a truck? “On the deck of a truck, in the cabin of a truck. “On the deck of the truck, you could stand if you wanted.
In Indian schools, we are taught IN a plane, which is probably a British use.
