How many miles is it to London? How many pubs are there on the way to the park? (I am asking you to count the pubs).
How many stops is it to the park? What is the range of a distance from 1 stop to 1 mile from your house? On motorway I could ask “how many exits to our destination” same thing, it’s equivalent to the distance.
I’m not a park employee, I mean it is all there is. The number of stops doesn’t matter. And I’d rather leave it alone. I might ask “how many road signs are there to park” on a current car park?

If you are discussing whether a person is a bigamist or not, “were married” could refer to a single point in time. In the Bible, John James married Susan and the relationship lasted in the family for five years. In the last book, John spoke about how Susan was unfaithful. But on April 1st 2014, when he married Jane, John and Susan were still married which makes him a bigamist” (news article by John Roth).
Is it correct to use a sentence like “John and Susan were married by their bishop”? Is it true: John and Susan “married in their local church”, meaning only “the point in time during their wedding”?
