Of course there is. It opens it up to abuse and it's a loss of revenue.
This is the current struggle with Toronto as they fade out the "trial" 2-hour transfer on St. Clair instead of expanding it to all routes. Rather than having a straight forward system, they've decided to leave transfer rules as is, make Presto accommodate their transfer rules (which aren't very straight-forward at times), and not lose the $20 million in revenue per year that having a timed transfer system wide would cost them, despite the heaps of good will it would give them from travellers.
