Commuters could be tracked using their mobile phones under plans to
tackle overcrowding and increase revenue from advertising.

Fascinating selection of routes, some of which could be accounted for
by friends/relatives travelling together with different destinations
but on the same general route.

But why do people let the world know where they are? Not using the
device is not enough, It has to be switched off to avoid tracking.
Mine is only switched on when I am willing to accept calls or need to
make a call. That only amounts to a small proportion of my waking
hours so it is more often off than on..

Gosh! How quaint! Someone who thinks a phone is about phone calls these
days. Get with it grandpa!

Apart from anything else, this is about wifi coverage which is for data
which is little used for voice calls.
