sentence-construction

"Get down, our destination has come"

Is the above sentence construction is correct? If yes can I construct sentence using Has come as below?

a) "Get down, our Stop / Station has come"

Also, Would it be correct if I construct the sentence as below?

b) "Get down, our Stop / Station is come"

For me both have same meaning, that we have reached our stop and now need to get down. "Is Come" Is more like information and " Has come" gives information of completed process of reaching.

Best Answer

"Get down"

This is how you tell a dog to stop jumping up to lick your face. You don't use it to address people about to leave a train.
It's additionally used in war movies when the enemy starts shooting. It's a command, not a polite request.

"our destination has come"

The destination hasn't travelled anywhere. The train did.
When you get to your destination, you have arrived.

If it's a group of friends, family, then something along the lines of

"This is our stop"
"We've arrived [at our destination]"

would be quite sufficient.
Informally, you just get off the train at your stop. You could 'get down from it' but that's more describing the act of actually stepping down from the train to the platform.

The more formal term to use for leaving a train, if 'leave' is not plain enough, is to alight - more likely to be used by the train driver or other official.

"This train has reached its final destination. Would all passengers please alight here."
