The bus departure time was "1 p.m.", and we get off home only at 12.50 p.m., so we had to ran to catch/get the train.
Can I use the word `catch' and `get' alternatively in this context?
You can use either.
The rest of your grammar is a bit screwy.

Hi,
we get off home only at 12.50 p.m.
Instead of this, say we left home only at 12.50 p.m.
Best wishes, Clive
Thank you friends.

I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't find any mistake in this (we had to ran to catch/get the train) sentence. So could you tell me what the wrong is.

I got it. It should be "to run". Am I right?
So the sentence becomes "I had to run to catch/get the train".

Yes, now the sentence is perfect.
