Can "go on the bus" mean "board the bus" ?
I just got an answer from a native speaker that "go on the bus" can mean either "board the bus" or "travel on a bus"according to context, but I'm not really sure that "go on the bus" can mean "board the bus".
Is the answer really right???
If so, is this sentence below correct as well?

Then, can "go on the board", "go on the table", "go on the balcony" mean "get on the board", "get on the table", "get on the balcony" ?
