Ich vermute, dass hier zum Ausdruck kommen soll, dass die km Anzahl nicht für die tour-retour Strecke anzugeben ist, sondern nur für e i n e Strecke. Daher würde ich <einfache> nicht unbedingt übersetzen

agree  Kcda: The one way km value is to be multiplied by the number of working days. It must be mentioned! Supposing it is 2Km back and forth = 2km x lets say 20 days = 40km. Whereas one way (1km) = 20km. There is a mathematical difference and hence in meaning. :)

neutral  Stephen Sadie: similar to my answer, I just find mentioning the one-way rather unenglish
