English term or phrase: travel by road
I have an article about travel destinations: in the section of transportation they state:
- Air travel
- By Bus
- Hire a car or travel by road
What do they mean by "travel by road"?? there is no way they mean by feet as we are talking about long distance!!

Basel .. it doesn't matter what vehicle you are using, could be a car or bus ..etc. Travel by road is السفر براً ocean travel is السفر بالبحر air travel السفر جواً أو بالطائرة
So, you you can say السفر بالحافلة (by bus)
(hire a car or travel by road) استأجر سيارة أو سافر براً
