Any trajectory of a diffusing particle making a transition between two end points of an interval can be divided into two segments, which we call direct-transit and looping parts. The former is the final segment of the trajectory, when the particle goes from one end point of the interval to the opposite end point, without retouching the starting point. The rest of the trajectory is the looping part. We study mean durations of the two Parts in the presence of a symmetric linear cusp potential which, depending on the parameter values, forms either a barrier or a well well between the end points. For the cusp barrier, we find that the mean direct-transit time decreases as the barrier height increases at a fixed interval length. This happens because the increase in the barrier height results in the increase of the magnitude of the force acting on the particle on both sides of the barrier. Interestingly, though the mean looping and direct-transit times are different in the case of the barrier and well potentials with equal height and depth, respectively, the mean first-passage times for the two cases are identical.
