Horse and Buggy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:39% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC02207_400_0.jpg\" alt=\"Horse and buggy in Amish country\" class=\"wp-image-14727 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC02207_400_0.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DSC02207_400_0-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Amish buggies come in a variety of styles, from &#8220;family buggies&#8221; to open two-seaters built for speed. Amish children pilot pony carts to their schools. Beyond buggies, you may see an occasional horse-pulled sleigh in the wintertime.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Buggies come in a variety of colors &#8211; including black, gray, brown, white, and even bright yellow. Buggy shops serve Amish customers in their communities, where you can buy a new or used buggy, or bring your carriage in for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish horse and buggies are one of the means of transportation most closely associated with how Amish people travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-bicycle\">2. Bicycle\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not accepted in all places, but common in Midwestern communities such as Holmes County, Ohio, and northern Indiana. In some places, the &#8220;e-bike&#8221; (bicycles powered by a motor) trend has taken hold, though this has been somewhat controversial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-scooter\">3. Scooter\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In places where the bicycle is not accepted, you&#8217;re likely to see the iconic metal kick scooter. Children and adults alike use these to make their travel zippier. Common in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-hired-driver\">4. Hired Drivers\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to go farther than it is convenient for a buggy or bicycle, you might use a hired non-Amish driver, aka &#8220;Amish taxi.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish regularly use hired drivers to travel to a distant workplace (for\nexample, a Pennsylvania Dutch market or a jobsite), to go to town for a large\nshopping trip, or even to go to other Amish communities out of the area for\nevents like weddings, funerals, or to visit family.&nbsp; Not accepted in the\nplainest communities except in special cases (e.g., medical emergency).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-bus\">5. Bus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish will travel on Greyhound buses to go long distances, and in some cases use other special coaches. For instance, Amish traveling to the vacation community of Pinecraft (Florida) from states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania will make use of several special bus lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-train\">6. Train <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to spot Amish riders on Amtrak lines. These may be sightseeing trips to western states, or even travel to Mexico for medical or mission work reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-plane\">7. Plane<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a common question and source of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-faq-block\"><div class=\"rank-math-faq-item\"><h4 class=\"rank-math-question\">Can Amish people fly in airplanes?<\/h4><div class=\"rank-math-answer\">The vast majority do not permit this form of travel. However, a small minority (mainly the New Order Amish churches) do allow air travel.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-tractor\">8. Tractor <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Amish usually use the tractor&#8217;s engine for power, but generally leave them parked (most use horse-drawn means for working their fields as well). But in a few communities, Amish allow tractors to be driven on the roads. This is about the closest the Amish come to car transport. Not common, but seen in communities such as Guthrie, KY, and Chouteau, OK. In these places, you might only see buggies on the roads on Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-rollerblades\">9. Rollerblades\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Popular in Lancaster County, in particular with younger Amish people. You&#8217;d think the Amish would go with old-fashioned four-wheeled roller skates, but no. Rollerblades, it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-walking\">10.
