We use 'by' to talk about a way of travelling: by air, by bike, by boat, by bus, by car, by plane, by rail, by road, by train, by sea, by ship. However, we cannot use 'by' if we say 'my car' / 'the train' / 'a taxi', etc. We say: 'by car' but 'in my car' (not 'by my car’), 'by train' but 'on the train' (not 'by the train'). We use 'in' for cars and taxis: They didn't come in their car. They came in a taxi.
