As someone who is often the beneficiary of the currently over-generous transfers and operators (last week, I got to get off the bus, attend a 60 minute meeting that was held just off my route, and then get back on the bus to carry on without another fare- that's not what the transfer is "supposed" to allow you to do), I have to agree that the current practice isn't ideal.
You're not meant to be able to conduct round-trips with a transfer. The longest routes in the system aren't more than 90 minutes long. If you took a bus to Ainslie from Conestoga Mall, you'd still be able to use a transfer to get on a Cambridge local to your final destination. Ninety minutes (or perhaps a tiny bit more, given what riders are accustomed to now) should be enough.
