If a single bus stops multiple times within 1/2 mile of the home, can this be counted multiple times. For example, if one bus comes nearby each hour, but it stops every few blocks so that there are 4 stops within 1/2 mile, should this be counted as 24 stops per day or 96 (24 x 4) stops per day?
Multiple stops can only be counted if they are for different lines, or the same line running in different directions (e.g. northbound / southbound). So, a single bus that stops several times within 1/2 mile should only be treated as one stop. In this example, only 24 stops should be counted.
