'Get off'

Could I say "I get down at the corner stop" instead of saying "I get off at the corner stop"?

Thanks!

Hi Clive,

Yes, I was talking about a bus. Would get down mean getting thrown out of the bus?

Thanks again Clive. Quick question though: I would like to know if 'get down' has any meaning. I heard some people using it. If it does, I would like to know how it could be used.

get down means, broadly, going from a high place to a lower place.
eg When the student stood on his desk, the teacher told him to get down.

Let's get down to business. An expression meaning - let's stop the chit-chat and start talking seriously.
