I've written long posts about why I don't think that sort of system would work and that distance based fares are the way to go. It might help to change the formulas for the fares to decrease the per mile fare after mile 3 and especially after mile 7 or 10 during rush hour. Also, the fares for off-peak aren't entirely fair in my opinion, since they aren't done solely by mileage during those time periods.

Why does everyone like drawing arbitrary lines at certain points on a map (the Beltway in this case) at which point the fare jumps? Why not make it so if you travel more than X miles, you start paying more based on how far you actually go? It is actually a fairer system in my opinion than nearly any other proposal since you pay for what you actually use.
