Would there be any reason to bore a tunnel entirely through a world?

I am looking to have a Tunnel drilled through a world and deal with the physics of What happens in the centre of a planet, what happens with the heat at the core and whether it is faster to travel through a planet. However I'm interested in a reason for doing this?

Obviously with any form of surface transport on any kind of reasonable sized world, it would be impractical to drill a hole through a planet to get to the other side, as surface transport would be easier.

What kind of technological, environmental or chemical environment might force a society to decide to go through rather than around a planet?
