Pregunta de Inglés (US)

I thought that the "go by" should be followed by "singular form of transportation means". So, we should say "go by train", "go by car" and "go by plane". However, recently I found the form "go by planes". If this form (plural form) is acceptable, can we say "go by trains" and "go by cars" as well?

Thanks in advance!

I think so.

English constantly breaks all it's grammar rules.

@zogman1 Thanks for your comment. Is it all right to use "go by trains(cars/planes) in written English and formal English?
