I see many "why" for EMS bridges.

Of the top of my head:

Create a topic out of an existing (and currently used) queue
By bridging a topic to a queue, make a more versatile durable subscriber (more options)
The "Topic to queue" pipe and filter pattern: Imagine all your (EAI) modules. All shall read from a queue, and write to a topic. Connectivity is not done in BW (or another writing application), but directly in the EMS configuration with bridges. A message from module A needs to be read by module B and module C ? Simply create 2 bridges from the module A outbound topic to module B and C inbound queues. Done ! Now the code does NOT have to be edited to adjust routing, and every module "stack" is well maintained by the inbound queues. (even if the module is off-line)
Bridges are useful with routes (multiple EMS instances), because of message selector feature (a JMS feature, not EMS, but very helpful with bridges). If a message in one queue needs to be sent to ONE out of 3 different EMS instances, based on a JMS property... then use a bridge with a message selector. No need for code.

I got more ;-) Seriously, it is a cool feature of EMS.

Also look at the samples, installed with the product. Great stuff there. – GhislainCote Jun 10 '15 at 01:45
Here are my articles on the subject : http://www.integist.info/2014/07/11/tibco-ems-on-centos-vm/ – GhislainCote Jun 10 '15 at 01:46

And finally... if you don't find readings on the specific subject you wish to allow you to leverage EMS... try to make a match between the classic EI patterns and the product doc. EIP : http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/ – GhislainCote Jun 10 '15 at 01:47
