I think the scary part is that you really never know where your data will end up being used. And in this case they collected data from third parties aka friends without their knowledge.
Luckily we don't have road tolls up here and public transport is still old school pay cash. They did try ticket less parking but a lot of the oldies won't use smart phone apps so the council had to keep the ticket machines in service.
I try and use my phone as just a phone and have no apps installed and also keep location services turned off. If I do use the net on my mobile Google still seems to know what town I am in, presumably from the phone network towers that I'm connected to.
