Situation: Your on the phone with you friend, and your lost and don't know how to go to a certain location. You: hey (friend name) im lost, how do you get there?/ how can I get there? Friend name: Oh, you have to take bus #1 and get off at Grand station. Note: usually both of these are interchangeable (meaning that you can use either expression to your friend or listener) since they both practically mean the same thing.
