This is a great idea, but Metro should create smart trip vending machines and allow tourists to buy them for $5 and sell them back for $4 when they are done. Not neccessarily a money maker but will eliminate the hassle of hordes of tourists befudled why the family can't use one paper ticket, can't manage to insert said paper ticket, or otherwise confused by 20th century technology.
I like the Undergound's map how its ringed in circles that dictate the cost of fares. It'll be a nod to the nostalgia of the much loathed taxi zones. within a zone it costs $1.95, two zones $2.15, 3 zones $2.50 and so on.

Tourists and business travlers (those most likely to use paper tickets) won't stop coming to DC because of it, nor stop using Metro simply because fares increase.
