Yes. Add more SmarTrip targets.

An EZ-Pass type of system is likely to accidentally charge people walking past the bus on the street. There's a reason why SmarTrip and other proximity cards require an extremely close proximity to work.

(Also, you might start wiping credit cards and stopping people's pacemakers if you started using bigger induction coils on the readers. My understanding is that EZPass is a very carefully-calibrated system, because there are only so many ways that a car can drive through a tollbooth)
