My own thoughts, based on the apparent unreliability of services in the area - how many 13's, 14's and x25s go missing, is to avoid the well known Langley Park triangle.
It is less famous that its well known cousin in Bermuda, but is notorious amongst drivers - who are loath to operate a vehicle in the area.
Services have been reported to vanish without trace or develop mysterious engine problems, rendering the vehicles un-servicable.
However, when said vehicles operate on other routes, they are known to work absolutely fine.
By consolidating everyone on one bus, bosses hope that the never-ending posting on the wall, querying the whereabouts of their bus will end, simply because the entire populations of the villages will have vanished with the bus.
