As shown in the middle blue section in picture, my tracking tag was in bus check point big zone but this automation never triggered.

That will only trigger if an event: enter happens in zone.bus_check_point_big_zone after: "18:00:00" on those days. If you are already there at that time, it won't trigger.

Personally I would be tempted to track the state of that zone, and check if the state is > 1 which means someone is there.

That is the wrong trigger for what you are trying to do... The Geolocation trigger tracks whether or not a given Zone falls within the effected geographic area returned from a geolocation platform. It has nothing to do with device trackers. These triggers are usually related to weather, seismic, or other broad impact emergency notifications.

What you are trying to do is accomplished using a Zone trigger.
