hop on

Jump into action

Hop on means to board or mount something quickly and casually—a bus, a bike, a train: I'll hop on the subway and meet you there.

It extends to joining activities already in progress: Hop on the call when you're ready.

The phrase suggests ease and informality, unlike more deliberate boarding or joining.
