I was in a 12 hour bumby bus rides wearing my FitBitCharge. At the end of the ride it registered 17,600 steps when I was just sitting the whole time.  Is it the equivalent steps of the bumpy ride? How accurate is it?

 

Can anyone explain?

Bumpy rides will give false steps. You can remove them with a driving record.
