Would be easy - though costly - to implement too. Have a touch out reader on
the bus for people wanting to interchange to a different route then have a
timeout of say 30 mins for them to get the next bus.

Don't even need that complexity. Just allow a second touch-in free
within, say, 1.5-2 hours of a touch in, with any further touch-in
restarting the clock. The odd person would get to do a return-half
journey for nothing, and somebody would no doubt stop a bus, touch in
and alight to restart the clock deliberately, but it would be so few
and such short journeys that the effect would be marginal.
