Sir Humphrey Appleby brought up a good point in response to your last idea (or set of ideas) on pricing schemes for Calgary Transit: Complication has a cost. I agree and think it applies here too. Any thoughts on that?

Totally agree. Complexity is generally a bad thing for transit. Transit should be simple, legible and easy to use. That goes for route planning, payment and almost anything associated with transit. For some good ideas regarding this go to
http://www.humantransit.org. He had one post about transfers that was really great. Sometimes you have to just accept freeriders etc because the cost of trying to stop them makes the payment system too complex.
