I think that should only be counted if there are no other bus stops on
the route. The OP was asking for the distance between bus stops (the

I don't think he was - there are oodles of of examples of bus stops
next to each other (i.e. distances under 10 metres) serving different

stops served on the same (non-limited stop route) route in the same

the criteria.
