getting off/out

[constantinusphilo]

When you are in a tram or in the metro, and if the wagon is crowded, how do you ask someone next to you: are you getting off at the next station, or are you getting out? Are you alighting?
And here, what can it mean:

“What’s so hard about cutting over to Gitana Trails and making two lefts and a right? Because that’s all it is. If you get off on Desatoya—

Can it mean: if you turn to and drive through Destoya?

I'd use "get off" when talking about trains, buses, trams and planes. We "get out of" cars and helicopters.

In your second example, it refers to taking the exit off a main road. I assume that the exit is marked "Desatoya" or that the road you drive onto is called Desatoya Road/Street/Avenue etc.
