  As you can see, svc 3 and 38 are formed from integrated feeder svcs. If they provide direct links from int to int, it's meaningless and residents in the hardly accessible areas of the town will suffer!
  
  Service 69 has direct link to Temasek Poly... not long winded actually.
  
  Service 73 is to let residents from nearby towns like TPY and AMK to access to S'goon Nth easily rather than go S'goon and take 315. Waste time for what?
  
  Svc 61 and 143 have their reasons of their long winded routes due to merger of services. Same theory as svc 51.
  
  Svc 28... who wants to take from Tampines Int to get out of Tampines? Only convenient for St 43 residents.

  14 provides Bedok North Rd residents a link to Tenah Merah and Bedok MRT Stns. It also supplements SBST222 along these sector.

  IMO, most MacPherson bus routes are winding. Some of them used to call at the former MacPherson terminal.
  
  155 is the real winding one. It enters MacPherson estate both directions.

  Just because they don't want townlink svc or single feeder... btw, why can't they be extended to AMK/Bishan or even Eunos?
