Never used AFAIK.
It's a companion verb for {lIgh} "ride":
lupwI' DalIghnIS
You must ride the jitney. CK
In order to {lIgh} a vehicle apparently one has to {yong} "get in" it. Here's the sightseeing scene from CK:
TERRAN: vogh vISuch vIneH. yejquv vaS'a' vISuch vIneH.
cha'puj tlhIlHal vISuch vIneH.
I want to visit someplace. I want to visit the Great
Hall of the High Council. I want to visit the dilithium
mines.
KLINGON: Sum Daqmeyvam, tera'ngan.
These places are nearby, Terran.
TERRAN: pa' jIyIt'a'?
Can I walk there?
KLINGON: ghobe'. lupwI' DalIghnIS. yIyong 'ej pa' yIQam!
No. You must ride the jitney. Get in and stand there.
TERRAN: naDevvo' jIleghlaHchu'be'.
I can't see well from here.
KLINGON: HoS lIngwI' wIjuS. 'IH, qar'a'?
We're passing a power generator. It's beautiful,
isn't it?
TERRAN: DaH vay' vIlarghlaH. mu'aw' mInDu'wIj. Daqvam nuq?
Now I can smell something. My eyes sting. What is
this place?
KLINGON: pegh De'vetlh.
That is classified information.
TERRAN: ghorgh pa'wIjDaq jIchegh?
When can I return to my room?
There's also {tIj} "board, go aboard" and {ten} "embark" which in English properly refer to ships and aircraft, though the former is used in "Talk Now" WRT taxis and trains:
nuqDaq lupwI' mIr vItIj
Where is the train station? TNK
nuqDaq ra'wI' lupwI' vItIj
[Where is the taxi stand?] TNK

chIj navigate (v)
'or operate/pilot (an aircraft) (v)
