I remember at one point the 121 was listed somewhere on the MetroTransit site. If they already have the sort of service you're looking for, could it be tied in with them?

I like this NextBus idea. It sounds a little like MetroTransit's NextTrip service, which I use all the time. However, I wouldn't be likely to scan a QR code to use NextTrip, or any other service. Not only does it take much longer than typing in a URL, but I'd feel really awkward standing at a bus trying to scan a QR code. A short URL or an app would be preferred.

Just an observation.
I still do occasionally, when I find one in an unexpected place. I usually don't bother if it's obvious where it would go. But the reason why has more to do with how long it takes to fire up my barcode reader app than anything else.
