Why get off further?

A woman takes the bus daily to work. She has two options to get off at one of two stops: first stop is located 100 meters from where her company is located and the second stop is 200 meters past the company. She always chooses to get off at the second stop. Why do you think?

Update:

Hint: Think topography

    she gets off at the second stop because because it is easier to walk downhill than uphill. the building would be placed on a hill.

    There is a barrier between the company and the first stop that does not exist between the company and the second stop--a river, a highway, whatever.

    The right word (sorry, it's reflexive) is "farther," which indicates distance.

    what lady said, or theres a road between the second stop and her company whereas there isnt one from the first stop to her building...

    She can't get to it from the first stop cuz there is no road or something.
