Preposition

Can I say " Get down from the bus" ?

Or should it be Get off the bus?

Which is right in UK English?
  

Top answer

Hi, To get off something (usually a train, bus or plane) is the most common expression. I think it's acceptable both in the UK and the US. The opposite is to get on the bus.
