What does “departures on weekdays” mean?

The total number of individual departures of all lines from their origin stops during one weekday, per the current timetable.

How is the “busiest stop” measured?

By the number of distinct lines stopping there — more lines means more departures and more possible directions from that spot.

What is the average headway?

The average gap between departures per mode, computed from the timetable within the daytime window. A single line can differ — the exact headway is on that line page.
