I didn't think/can't find any mention of the 17 going to UBC, but I know other examples of what you're talking about. I don't know, I think it's weird too, but I did notice in the new Southwest Area plan that they're planning on splitting these into two separate routes there, so hopefully that continues.

I take one such route regularly, and it leads to so much confusion. Literally every single time there will be at least on person asking questions and mad that the bus isn't going to where they wanted it to go.
