You're "in a country" but "on a bus".
When I started learning other languages I realised there's no logic to it in any language. You live "in" California but I think it should be "on", but if you said "I live on California" it would have a subtly different meaning.
I'm interested in what AI says is the most logical language when we explain Esperanto to it.

The country/state thing makes sense since you're within the borders of the location but I always learned that it's weird we say ride in a car but on a bus.
