Travelling by means of — mā runga
Mā runga expresses traveling by a means of transport (bus, car, plane, etc.). It literally relates to being “on” something. The vehicle usually appears without te unless referring to a specific one. For example: Kei te haere ahau mā runga pahi (“I am travelling by bus”). Walking uses a different phrase: i te wāwae.
