I guess you mean not pay the fare and get a ride. If so;- Plane - forget about it. too many check ins and they will notice on the plane when you sit in a seat booked for someone else, even if you manage to get past the checkpoints for boarding cards unnoticed. Bus - either get on with loads of people in which case you can probably slip on unnoticed, or buy a ticket to a nearer destination and then override, which is starightforward and easyt o do on a bus (though not necessarily ethical). Train - Without a ticket for a long journey you will have to keep moving around the train and have an awareness for where the ticket inspector is. With skill, you can go in the toilet as he passes. Inspectors have never asked to see my ticket when Im moving about the train. Sitting down, its a risk you may get asked or not depending on your luck. If you are pulled, be prepared to sweet talk the inspector with some story why you really need to travel on the train and yet cant afford to. Ive done it before. Then at some stations you will have to show a ticket at an exit platform. Find an old ticket, scrunch it up so it wont go in the reader, and then at the manual gate, when theres several pushchairs, etc going through, just hold up your ticket and boldly but ordinarily walk through, dont wait to be okayed, just walk past as if your ticket is valid. Chances are it will work. Or you can get off at a rarely used stop with a small station, chances are no barriers or inspection. Getting off, or on at big cities makes train jumping harder.

To hop a bus, train, plane (as I understand it) simply means to use it as a means of transportation. So I would suggest that your first step would be to buy a ticket. Expressions are used differently and if you mean ride without paying, I would advise against it as if you are caught it might end up being more trouble than it's worth.

I've never tried it with a plane, I'm not quite sure how that would work although it sounds like fun. The trick with trains is either to pick a very busy period, so busy that the conductors can't get down the aisles to check tickets (I've frequently travelled several hundred miles without having my ticket checked). Or travel at night, when in my experience a lot of the time they just trust you because they can't be bothered. If anyone does check just say you didn't have time to get a ticket at the station, offer to pay the fare to the next station and then hop on the next train. Another trick that sometimes works is pretending to be asleep - it helps if you look as undistinctive as possible so the conductor just sort of glosses over you thinking you've been travelling for ages(if you have pink hair or an odd hat they'll realise you weren't there before and must have just got on. Avoid large stations with ticket barriers/ checks and get off somewhere obscure instead (more fun anyway, as Jack Kerouac proved in "On The Road") Buses are a bit more difficult, but if you have a small amount of money you can usually get away with staying for a fair few stops after the ones you've paid for - particularly if you sit in a corner behind a tramp. Other than using a gun and ending up in prison I'm not sure how it would work with planes.
