To get on:

1 - to mount: he got on his horse; they got on the bus.

2 - to age: he is getting on (he is past middle age).

3 - to succeed: he got on so well in the company that he became a director.

4 - to get on with someone, to be friendly with someone: they don't get on (they don't like each other).
