Welcome back, class! I am glad to see you all dressed in muggle clothing. I thought that we should study muggle transportation first. Please take out a muggle pen and paper.
The most common way is the automobile or car. Here and here are some photos of cars.
Another way muggles travel is by airplane. Airplanes are large airships that noisly rumble through the sky. It is not quite certain how these airplanes stay up without magic. There is a picture of an airplane here.
One more popular way for muggles to travel is by train. You have ridden on one before, obviously. It was the Hogwarts Express. While you were at Kings Cross, did you notice the muggle trains? I want you to turn to your neighbor and tell them about one thing you noticed while in Kings Cross about muggle trains.

We now have just enough time for you to get back into your uniforms before your next class. Please put away your pen and paper. Your Homework is either to compare the car, plane or train to the wizarding equivalent or to write a brief history of the car, plane or train. Class is dismissed.
