I recently saw on MCTS's Facebook page that they are going to start integrating QR codes into their bus stops.  Currently these are still in the testing phase.  I personally have yet to see them, they are at bus stops around the UWM campus and some areas of Wisconsin Avenue.  Passengers waiting at these stops will be able to use their smart phones to scan the Quick Response Code and it will tell them when the next bus is scheduled to arrive at that particular stop.  
I think it is real awesome that the Milwaukee County Transit System is starting to experiment with something as cool but most importantly USEFUL as these QR Codes would be.  These QR Codes would be so useful, especially in the winter time.  We all know what a pain it is to be sitting outside, freezing waiting on the next bus but not wanting to leave so you won't miss it.  MCTS I applaud you for this wonderful use of these codes and I hope you spee

Glad you like this idea. MCTS is just testing this to see how customers like it before real time is available. The scan will link you to next scheduled bus departure times. Better yet, we are working on providing real time for customers - we are getting closer!
