English term or phrase: you can transfer on that bus
What does "you can transfer on that bus" mean?
Could you explain it, please?


Man: Hi.
Driver: Hi.
Man: I was wondering if this bus goes to the College Street.
Driver: It doesn't go to the College Street, but when you
pay your fare, I can give you a transfer, and you can transfer on that bus that will take you to College Street.


Thank you

agree  philgoddard: It should be "onto". // Of course I mean transfer onto.

  -> no it shouldn't . "get on" is perfectly correct (unless you mean "transfer onto"? But it's speech and a bus driver speaking so....)
