Both in/on are correct. It depends on how you look at the things in question, on the platform, in/on the train/ship etc.

You travel on buses, trains, trams, boats (including sampans); but you can be in[side] all of these. Your context governs it.

You will be in a compartment.

You go on a cruise, and sit on a raft, and are lifted up on a construction lift.
