The whole verb "to get" and it's derivatives, e.g., "got", "gotten", "get on", "get off", are generally used by the majority of the population with a smaller vocabulary in place of a plurality of preferred verbs. It is possible, and encouraged, to eradicate "to get" and derivatives from written English.

Why isn't "vystupovat" used here? Is it because getting off the train isn't a repeating action?
The Czech sentence here is about getting off for your current ride. That does not happen repeatedly. Even when discussing some future commute, you would use vystoupit / meaning once in every ride. Vystupovat could probably be forced somehow, but probably in some other wording.
Vystupovat works best when discussing the process of getting of.
Až budete vystupovat - When you are getting off (meaning still on the train)
Až vystoupíte - When you get off (when you are off the train)
A conductor at the final station says: "Vystupovat!" However, that is idiomatic. The voice in the loudspeaker says: "Prosíme vystupte.".
Also in negative sentences you are more likely to use the imperfective:
Tady vystupovat nesmíte!
Tady vystoupit nesmíte!
mean pretty much the same. At least when considering the current ride.
