The present article focuses on studying the extent to which the nonuniqueness that is inherent in the standard quantum mechanical calculation of arrival/transit time distribution can be exploited to enable an empirical scrutiny of any causal trajectory model such as the Bohmian scheme. For this purpose, we consider the example of spin-1/2 neutral particles corresponding to a wave packet which passes through a spin rotator(SR) that contains constant magnetic field confined within a region - in such a case, the transit time distribution can be measured in terms of the spin distribution of particles emerging from the SR. In particular, we investigate the way one can compare the Bohmian predictions obtained for this example with that using one of the quantum approaches, say, the probability current density based scheme. Here the Bohmian calculational procedure involves a couple of critical subtleties that lead to some specific directions for further studies.
