The way I read the relevant rule (below) suggests that A-B-A and a second A-B-A on the same day is within the rules (different train numbers even though it's the same
route), right? For example, someone in metro-PHL could do PAO-EXT-PAO in the morning before work and then PAO-EXT-PAO again on the way home. That would be four segments per day, all on different Keystone train numbers with 3x points earning a total of 1,200 per day, all for very little $.
The Keystone is great for this sort of thing because they're relatively frequent, so you can catch one in one direction, ride for about 5-10 mins, hop off, wait 30 mins or so, and then hop back on in the opposite direction.
Hope I'm not killing the golden goose by discussing this...
The definition of a trip is the entirety of a Member's travel in a given day, on the same train number. That is, Members may earn Points for one train ticket used on a single train or individual train number on a single day.
