As soon as we sat down on the bus, the driver stressed on the word IN. When after the trails sat on the bus going to the opposite direction (they drove from the 6th stop), the word was crossed out Out. So it is not clear whether it would be possible to take a bus again if you go to one of the stops on the way back. Perhaps it is better to watch everything along the way forward or clarify information at the checkout or at the driver.
