If I'm using your transit service and you take me on a several hour detour without my consent passing a dozen or more possible stops because "you're not cleared for that", you aren't serving your mandate and I'm never using your service again.
I might even pull the emergency brake before it gets that far and cause you more problems, even.
It's progress, taken to its extreme. From a certain point of view it's effectively the same as collapse.
