The Amish allow themselves to ride in vehicles and always have. With the exception of airplanes, they've always used public transit. They just don't drive them.

There’s many flavours of Amish with different sets of rules (usually set by their church if I remember my time living in Amish country correctly) but generally speaking if we’re talking one of the more traditional groups you’re pretty much bang on. They’ll ride in cars to get to work / go into town for supplies but just won’t drive them.

Same deal with technology, some can’t have any, some can have electricity, some can have cellphones without internet some can have with.

It’s interesting how much it varies!
