get in/on

What´s the difference between get in and get on?
  

Top answer

You get in a place, a theatre (enter). If a train/bus/plane gets in at a particular time, it arrives at that time. If people get on, they like each other and have a friendly relationship: I've always got on well with him.

Mostly, the same as the difference between "in" and "on."

Get in the car, get on the bus, get in the row boat, get on the airplane, etc.
