In English we use the preposition BY when talking about most means of transportation. But we use “ON” for very few exceptions.
That is also the case in Spanish with “de” and “a“.
For example:
pie = fot
de avión = by plane
de barco = by boat/ship
de auto = by car
de metro = by subway
de bus/colectivo/ómnibus (depending on the country) = by bus
a pie = on foot
a caballo = on horseback
