Unless they're buying a single ticket, you don't really need to know the destination as it could be tracked by the ticket. (Which is how MG knows exactly how many people are travelling unnecessarily, and who they are)

If they board at stop A in the morning, then there's no activity for a few hours, then they board at stop H later in the day and there's no more activity. In that situation it would be reasonable to assume their journey was from Stop A to Stop H, then back again. Obviously they could have alighted at Stop J on their outward journey and on the return walked to stop H because they had to wait a while for the bus, but it's a good indication
