Hello,
Another problem with prepositions. I've read lately in a grammarbook that the preposition IN is used with personal transport means, and ON - with public transport, e.g. I'm IN the car now / ON the bus. If this rule is correct (is it?), what about coaches? Is it an exception (I'm IN the coach now) or not (I'm ON the coach)? What about subway/tube? Is it OK to use ON here? E.g. I'm ON the subway / ON the tube now. And the last thing is Twitter. Is itON/IN (the) Twitter?
Thanks in advance!
