SS credit 3.1 Schedules and Rides per day

My project is 0.5 miles from Grand central station NYC, in order to achieve exemplary performance i have to state rides per day, this means for example each time subway stops in that station counts as a ride? Also, Do i have to state each line separate or state a total number of rides for each line as one? Thank you

Yes, in principle each time a train – subway or commuter rail - stops at the station counts as one "ride." Projects often count the number of stops per day each line makes at the station and then add all the stops from each line into one total. For exemplary performance you need to exceed 200 rides per day – I’m sure you do. It's a bit mind boggling to imagine counting all the times a train stops at Grand Central. Hopefully a few of the statistics on the wikipedia entry for Grand Central Terminal will be enough to convince the reviewer!
