What do Europeans use as transportation?

The same as you do in the US! Road vehicles, rail, aircraft and ships. In Europe, the rail network is more highly developed than it is in the USA, and there are also more underground railways in major cities. Continental Europe also makes much use of tram networks in city areas, and it's rail network tends to be more electrified. There is also a Channel Tunnel rail link between Britain and France. Some types of transport - for example, hovercraft and helicopters - have been developed to a commercial level in parts of Europe for short-haul passenger trips on specific routes (i.e. hovercraft for river or lake crossings, and helicopter services out to offshore islands, etc). Regarding air transport, in recent years this has been discouraged for inter-Europe transport due to concerns of environmental pollution, although pan-European flights still occupy a major part of Europe's transport network.
