"Long" is an adjective, not a verb.

To figure out if a verb is transitive or intransitive use a direct object to test it. If you can abutt a direct object to a verb without a preposition it is transitive. If not it is intransitive.

I buy a school. (Makes sense, a little unorthodox but OK, "buy" is transitive.)

I come a school. (Makes no sense, "come" needs prepositions like "to" or "from".)
