I also hear the words 'board' and 'deboard' if it's a subway or a train that we board or deboard. For ex Please don't push other passengers while boarding and deboarding the train.

I have never seen or heard the word 'deboard' used for trains or buses in British English. We may, in rather formal language, board and alight.
