I think it would incentivize transit use for short trips, many of which would replace private vehicle trips. It would also be almost entirely new revenue as I think a large portion of the people taking short C-Train only trips don't pay under the current system as the risk of getting a ticket on a 1 or 2 stop trip is very low.

That's the thing, they wouldn't bring in a zone-based fare system to make shorter trips cheaper. They would do it to make longer trips cost more.
