Why is the wifi locked ? Thats not needed. It's a bus how can someone steal ur wifi. Super annoying

Once on the road it was smooth enough as far as the highway. On the negative, the bus was cold and heat was turned off, the bus was 35 minutes late due to the driver not knowing the route and taking the wrong turn, the driver almost rear ended a vehicle turning off of one of the city streets, and there was nowhere to plug in or en route wifi contrary to what was advertised.
