I like the idea. But poor implementation could really screw it up.
Eg, the effect will be to encourage people into trains and buses. But those trains and buses need to be there to meet the new demand. So we should see investment in new buses and trains BEFORE this comes in, timed to be ready for the rush of commuters. Otherwise all commuters will be really unhappy. I don't want the bus to be even more crowded in the morning at rush hour...
