I'm not sure that the graphic above for this credit for option #2 is correct. The credit reads for option 2: "Locate the project within 1/4 mile walking distance...of 1 or more stops for 2 or more public campus or private bus LINES usable by tenant occupants".
We have (5) bus stops around our project site and each stop is for a different route, BUT, each stop is serviced by the same bus company. Does this qualify for this credit?
What is meant by "bus line"? Does it mean that there must be or or more stops for 2 or more different bus companies? If you Google "bus lines", Greyhound pops up, which leads me to think that in order to achieve this credit there must be more than one bus "company" that has 1 or more stops avaialable within 1/4 mile of the project site.
Can you offer some clarification?
Thanks!!!

Two bus lines would mean two different routes. They can be from the same bus company - many areas are only served by one public transit agency.

Hi David,.
How about i have 2 bus station/stop, separated by main road and facing each other, having the same buses lines (one going to the south and the other toward the north bound), and each is serving 48 times of transit for whole day, can i count the frequency as 96 transit per day?

If you have a single bus line that runs in opposite directions, such as North and South, you would count that as one bus line. With two bus stops, one for each direction, you can count the number of times a bus stops at each of the two stops as "rides", so yes, in your example that would be 96 transit rides.
and you can count the # of times a bus stops
