I am looking for clarification on the terminology and corresponding input fields of the credit form. In the "Points are calculated as follows" table, does the column "Minimum Weekday Trips" refer to a daily number of weekday trips or a cumulative number of the trips of all 5 weekdays? I have the same question for the "Minimum Weekend Trips" term in this table. The confusion is coming from the distinction in language between this table and the "Transit service" table, which has columns labeled "DAILY Weekday Trips" and "Average DAILY Weekend Trips."
I realize once I have the transit information for my project I can fill it into the "Transit Service" table and it will generate the point numbers, but right now I am only in the feasibility study portion of my project and am more interested in point budgeting than filling in exact information.

The "minimum trips" language refer to the daily number of trips provided. The most common variation is seen on weekends when the number of trips provided on Sat vs. Sun is often different. However, there are examples when weekday trip numbers vary (e.g. publicly available university bus service, when trips vary to match class frequency) and even in those circumstances, the minimum service provided should be used to calculate compliance.
