Grammar
In the front/back, on the front/back
Dear teachers,
As far as I know we say in the front/back of the car, taxi. But is it the same with train, bus, plane, tram, horse, bike?
E.g. In the front/back of the train, bus, horse, bike, plane.
Or
On the front of the train, bus, horse, bike, plane.
Which one is right?
Thanks beforehand
Regards

As far as I know we say in the front/back of the car, taxi. But is it the same with train, bus, plane, tram, horse, bike?-- 'In' for larger things, 'on' for smaller things. In the front of the train; on the front of the horse (?!?)
