I live in Chile and we have many kinds of transportation. I usually take the bus or the subway. In Chile, you can find a bus station near of your house. Also, if you want to take the subway, you have to walk. I don't like to use the taxi because they are dangerous. I like to travel to other parts of my country by train, now it is very common to use the train in Chile, but a few years ago it was very difficult because we didn't have good trains.
Almost all these transportations are available in my area, trains station is close to my house a few kilometers, taxi are more in roads, tucks are daily basis moving with cargo and objects, ships are standing in port offloading things. unfortunately I sold my bike as am not using since I have car for the daily transportations.
The kinds of transport we have where I live are taxi, van, bus, and train. I don't normally use any kinds of transport because I have my own car, but if I had to, It would be a taxi, a metro, or a train.
Where I live, people often use most of these transports to move.
I usually use my bike to go around my house and rent a motorbike to go farther. I use the bus to go to another province or city.
All yachts are boats, but not all boats are yachts. The word 'boat' is very general and can be used to refer to almost any kind of vehicle people get into that floats on water. A yacht is usually a fairly large and luxurious vessel that is used primarily for luxurious entertainment.
Personally, I wouldn't call the boat in the image on this page a yacht -- it looks a little small and doesn't appear to be luxurious.
Thank you Kirk, I understand.
Maybe the difference of what to call boats or yachts stems from a cultural difference. In Cambodia, it's a definitely a yacht, but maybe people in Spain will call it a boat. Interesting... ;)

Hello Rafaela1,
All yachts are boats, but not all boats are yachts. The word 'boat' is very general and can be used to refer to almost any kind of vehicle people get into that floats on water. A yacht is usually a fairly large and luxurious vessel that is used primarily for luxurious entertainment.
Personally, I wouldn't call the boat in the image on this page a yacht -- it looks a little small and doesn't appear to be luxurious.
Hope this helps.
All the best,
