What does it mean it's two bus stops away?

what does it mean? In particular, what does "away" mean here?

Thank you.

Answer

'Away' would be short for 'away from here'. 
It suggests that  (a) where you are is on a bus route, and near a bus stop  (b) 'it' is along the road that the bus follows - so probably along the main road, and (c) 'it' is near the second bus stop after this one. In other words, if you get on a bus, and go to 'it', you pass one stop, and get off the second stop.

Answer

It means that something or somewhere it's located at the second next bus stop.

Away in this sentence means something like "of distance"
