Last week I was picked up by a bus that had technically already departed, so the operator told me to take a seat quickly. I really needed to test out the mobile fare for the pilot project, so I waited for the next opportunity to scan the QR at a safe, legal stop.

A dude was attempting to board, and I was hardly 10 seconds at the scanner when he urged me to get out of his way! It's bad enough when a magstripe pass doesn't scan on the first try... it's going to be murder if everyone's fumbling with their phones and apps and wireless connections.
