It would take about 5 stops to get 13 people on the bus, but the real amount of people would be 15.
Tried my best to plot it:)

The expression 4a^2c^2 - (a^2-b^2+c^2)^2 has to be factored.
4a^2c^2 - (a^2 - b^2 + c^2)^2
=> (2ac)^2 - (a^2 - b^2 + c^2)^2
=> (2ac - a^2 + b^2 - c^2)(2ac + a^2 - b^2 + c^2)
=> (b^2 - (a^2 - 2ac + c^2))((a^2 + 2ac + c^2) - b^2)
=> (b^2 - (a - c)^2)((a + c)^2 - b^2)
=> (b - a + c)(b + a - c)(a + b + c)(a - b + c)
<span>
The factorized form of 4a^2c^2 - (a^2-b^2+c^2)^2 is (b - a + c)(b + a - c)(a + b + c)(a - b + c)</span>
