Completely lacking in insight, in fact.
If all travellers with mobile phones thought it was ok to steal electricity in this way it would come to quite a large sum.
At the end of the day everyone would have to pay with increased fares.
Therefore it's necessary to show that this small delict actually has significant social costs.

Chinese Blogger Chosen As Head of Investigation 89
Lew Perin writes "China hasn't developed much of a reputation for government transparency. And in Yunnan province, the case of a guy who died in police custody was starting to look like a cover up. But then the provincial government startled everyone by choosing a prominent local blogger to head the official investigation into the death. 'The unorthodox move to make popular bloggers heads of an investigation committee is a tacit admission by the Yunnan government of the power of the internet — especially blogs — in shaping Chinese public opinion. It also belies the widespread suspicion of the official version of Li's death.'"
