The Stockholm Metro and public transport uses QRs, but on phones, and it's awful. The huge variance in people's shitty broken, dim phones make it take 3-4 tries sometimes. Infuriating! The scanners themselves are brilliant though, but nobody wants to stand in line for some printer machine and need to carry a flimsy bit of paper around.

- BiteCode_dev 2y agoThe article talks about tickets with chips in it, which means you could provide the same ticket with qr code, only cheaper and less polluting. No variance. People can then use nfc with their phone, which doesn't have the pollution problem.
