So, I've just gone through the rules for embarking/disembarking in the BRB, and I found a prohibition on Embarking then Disembarking in the same turn, but it DOESN'T say that you can't Disembark, then Embark in the same turn. So what do you guys think? Can you exit a transport, then enter a different transport in the same move, as long as you end your disembark within 2 inches of the second transport's access point? The rules seem to indicate that you can.

Models can only voluntarily embark or disembark in the Movement phase. They cannot voluntarily embark and disembark in the same turn.

and, not then. You can't do both. Seems very clear.

Actually it can be read as disallowing as the order doesn't matter, you're still trying to embark and disembark (two separate actions) in the same turn.

Generally when the rules reference things in a specific order, it will include the word "then". If it said "You may not embark and then disembark" that would suggest disembarking and then embarking is fine. But as it is written it denies two actions be taken in the same movement phase, regardless of order.

Ah, ok. If interpreted this way, it does indeed seem very clear. Thanks for pointing that out.
