100mb a day limit, if you travel for 5 days a week, that is around 2GB worth of data that someone is getting on top of their plan with the mobile provider.
Getting a bit astray here, but the issue is normally when phones connect to wifi, background data processes normally drastically increase for updates and whatever else our devices do. So there's less time to actually use the your phone before reaching the cap, than if the device is being rather more conservative on mobile data.

I've used all the data within a matter of minutes by just browsing facebook. All the things start auto playing as well, which doesn't help. It would be nice if devices could recognise transport wifi as a separate entity and act a lot more conservatively. Those big bad evil multi million corporations want us to be using mobile data though, so that'll never happen!
