The QR code wouldn't fix that.

Another issue is how do you communicate this to the passenger who flatly refuses to accept even some responsibility without saying or implying that they have insufficient funds?

I had someone with a dodgy concessionary pass which wouldn't scan. He blamed the ETM. When I challenged him and asked why it was scanning everyone else's just fine, he said it's the machine.
