# Modes of Transport: Taxi and Bus

There are two modes of transport for sending Stargate transactions. The first is **taxi**, where tokens are sent to the destination chain at the moment of swap. The second is **bus ride**. Bus ride means that multiple user swaps are batched together. Tokens are sent to the destination chain when the **bus is driven.** 

Driving the Bus: This will either happen automatically via the planner when the bus is full, or during the regularly scheduled bus service, commissioned by the Stargate Foundation, while parameters are perfected.
