This is being done on Singapore's "subway" (MRT) system now: if you exit by 7:45 AM, your ride is free. http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/public-transport/mrt-and-lrt-trains/travel-smart.html http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/public-transport/mrt... And something similar on Singapore's roads too: tolls vary by time of day. http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/roads-and-motoring/managing-traffic-and-congestion/electronic-road-pricing-erp.html http://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/roads-and-motoring/m... Finally, taxis have a pricing feature common in many places: a surcharge for certain times of day (can be peak times, can be nighttime...).

If you ask me, they should raise prices on the MRT during rush hour, instead of just lowering prices in early the morning. But that's just me. The normal price to get to work on the MRT is less than 1 USD. So the difference between that and free isn't worth it for me to alter my schedule. Less well off people might be more influenced, and raising prices might be politically infeasible. (And I usually ride my bicycle to work anyway.)
