symfony insert multiple rows insted of one - php

Question

I have a wired situation here. On persisting symfony inserts multiple records instead of one. I can't find any problem with my code and I am not sure how to debug this error because it seems all fine.
Logic behind application is that user can select two bus station and create a route. Also he needs to define price and group (minimum and maximum people). Additionally, user needs to select bus vehicles that will drive this particular route
Does someone knows where is the problem?
Here is the output of entity when form is submitted
StationStandardPrice {#553 ▼
-id: null
-company: Company {#549 ▶}
-busVehicleGroupSize: BusVehicleGroupSize {#1233 ▶}
-departureStation: Stations {#1247 ▶}
-destinationStation: Stations {#1236 ▶}
-currency: Currencies {#1015 ▶ …2}
-price: 99.0
-busVehicles: ArrayCollection {#554 ▼
-elements: array:2 [▼
0 => BusVehicle {#1023 ▶}
1 => BusVehicle {#1208 ▶}
]
}
}
This is entity of route (shorted version)

Answer 1

the problem seems to be in:
public function addBusVehicles(BusVehicle $busVehicles)
{
if ($this->busVehicles->contains($busVehicles)) {
return;
}
$this->busVehicles->add($busVehicles);
$busVehicles->addBusVehicleGroup($this);
}
when call
$busVehicles->addBusVehicleGroup($this);
your are adding a new route to the relation, try without calling this method.
