on the lift vs in the lift

The phrases 'on the lift' and 'in the lift' cannot be directly compared because their meanings differ. 'On the lift' typically refers to being physically on top of a lift or elevator, while 'in the lift' refers to being inside the lift or elevator. The choice between the two depends on the specific location or position being described.
