how to convert stacked bar graph to unstacked bar graph

Question

I need to have both line and bar graph in the graph. This link refers to stacked version of the graph that I need. Is it possible to convert it to unstacked version?

In this picture, I do not need "Near" and "Here" bars.

Thank you.

Change ybar stacked to ybar in the axis options, and remove the second and third \addplot in the first axis. In the second axis you can set xtick=\empty.
