Our project is located across the street (much less than 1/4 mile) from a multi-modal bus transit center that serves twelve (12) city bus lines, which is much more than the "4 or more public or campus bus lines" requirement for exemplary performance. However, we are only within 1/4 mile of this one bus stop, whereas the wording in the LEED Reference Guide says "locate the project within 1/4 mile of at least 2 or more stops for 4 or more bus lines." Even if a bus had 2 or more stops within my 1/4-mile radius, it wouldn't increase service to my LEED project, so why does the Guide have this wording? (I checked the Addendum and there is no correction for this wording.) Can we qualify for exemplary performance even if there is only 1 stop for 4 or more bus lines?

I think you've met the credit intent. The bus lines serve different parts of the city, right? Then you have 12 bus stops across the street. As for EP credit, you'll want to look at total available rides. There should be information about that on LEED User.
