How about detecting Presto getting on AND off the bus.... The boarding tap would charge the maximum amount. As you get off the bus, your Presto card will no longer be detected on the bus, and you'll get a discount depending on shortness of travel distance???
That means there would have to be little GPS devices in each card, requiring everyone to get new ones and I don't know how everyone would feel about possibly have their whereabouts being known all the time.

Not that it's a bad idea, but it won't happen for a long time.
