Default Why the long journey?

Why is it that most cities have bus routes that are in a radial pattern,

If I want to get to a place on the same side of the city, I have to go
into the city centre and then come back out again.

It'll be much better with some circular routes joining together the
radial routes to give a spider web pattern. It would make for quicker
journeys on the same side of the city.

Coventry has a 360A and 360C service which takes a roughly circular route, covering the main hospital, outer suburbs, business parks, colleges and university (of Warwick - not actually in Warwick). The route numbers are self-explanatory.
