I agree. I’m not a commuter and live 20-25 minutes from the KCM line, so credit/TAFH is very easy to track with the total monthly per diem. I do a lot of 1-1 trips that start at 7pm and return at 10am the next day. 2 short legs and 15 hours away from home is definitely not equal to 6 legs and 30 hours away, even though both are 2 “days” worked and ~10.5 hours of credit. It would be nice if more people posted their credit/TAFH along with their earnings.
