Explanation

Hikari

Do they inspect the bus every time they finish a route?

Misaki

Not quite. The correct answer is once per day, before starting operations. They perform or confirm the daily inspection before the day begins.

Hikari

So just once at the start, not after every trip?

Misaki

That's right. One thorough check before the day starts, and they report the results to their employer.
