What you pay to get on? (4)
I believe the answer is:
fare
'get on?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fare that I've seen before include "diet" , "Cost of travel" , "Get on - passenger - provisions" , "Charge for travelling on train or bus" , "Transport charge" .)
