Can I say the following?
1. Please, get in the bus, we are going and can't waiting for you.
2. Please , get out from the bus, we reach the last destination.
 
No to both.

1 is ungrammatical. Use "we can't wait for you"."Also "in" is the wrong preposition. Both on and into would work.

2 Get out from the bus is unnatural.
In AmE we'd say get off the bus, but in some varieties of English people say "get down from the bus". And the simple past is not the best tense there. You could say "we have reached" or "we are reaching".
 
1. I would dispense with "please" because of the urgency. Perhaps: "Hurry up and get on the bus! It's leaving in a minute and is not going to wait for anybody."

2. We've reached our stop. Let's get off the bus.

Where did you see "last destination"?
 
Take some time to memorise the correct preposition for entering or leaving forms of transport:

Get on a bus
Get off a bus
Get on a plane
Get off a plane
Get on a boat
Get off a boat
Get on a train
Get off a train
Get on a coach
Get off a coach
Get in a car
Get out of a car
Get in a taxi
Get out of a taxi
 
So get off and get on we are using with a bus.
Can I say the following.(get in and get car).
1. Hurry up and get in the car, we can't wait for you.
2. We have reached the last stop, get out from the car.

About transport, are we using get in and out only with car and taxi?
 
Get in the car is substandard in my opinion, although I have ofter heard it. Use into, not in. Get out from is unnatural, so don't use it. Say get out of the car.

I won't generalize about other modes of transport, but we usually use board rather than get on when referring to aircraft, trains and ships.
 
It can have another meaning instead of transport .
1. The thief got into the house yesterday and stole many things.
2. I can't get out of this topic, I started and I have to finish it.

1. Yes, or "broke into".
2. Two things. One, use a period or semicolon after "topic". Two, say: "I started it, ...."
 
I can't get out of this topic; I started it and have to finish it.

That's not natural. I might say "I can't stop thinking about this topic" or "I can't leave this subject alone".
