To say how you travel, use "by + transport": "I go by car / by bus / by train". One exception: "on foot" (not "by foot") when you walk.

by car vs in a car:
We usually say "go by car / by bus / by train" (no article). But "I came here in my car" (= inside a specific car). The simplest rule: use "by + transport" to describe how you travel.
