Just because they wont use the same fares don't mean the entrances cant be in the same building.

They could be on different sides of the same building take the current silver spring station the building could be expanded further on both sides, the faregates, fare machines and station master's box could be moved around, so that the station masters box is in the middle and then on one side you have the red line and the other the purple.

I agree with the fare problem that could be a huge problem and could end it worst

If metro eventually ends up with metrorail, metrobus, metrolightrail + streetcars it would be a logistical nightmare figuring out all combinations of fares + the discounts on each of them.

Would lightrail fares be similar to bus or rail what about if metro ends up running streetcars for the various jurisdictions.

At a point like that it would just be easier to charge fares based on daily/weekly/monthly passes and let people use whatever way they choose to get wherever; other places around the world do it why not metro.
