Why do we get on a bus but in a taxi?

(Stolen from twitter, but it's a good question.)

Its because of your own actions, how you enter the transport....you 'walk on' a bus...

You board a bus, or a train, or a plane, or a ship. If you are on board then you are "on" rather than "in"

Originally, buses were open top, so you boarded it or got on it.

This. The steps were open as was the top, so there was nothing to get in...one had to get on. The original name was Omnibus.
