An easy way to do preliminary testing would be for the corporate users who buy year-long packs of passes (such as myself, through my $5 Carshare membership) to be given EasyGO cards. Bus drivers who had the system would be able to scan it and see a monthly pass (for any of months 1-12 in the pack that an individual user is on). Bus drivers who did not have a system could be dealt with in one of two ways. Either you ask the person to continue carrying around their corporate card for this case (inconvenient, and means two cards are floating around), or you only give the cards to those who have at least X number of months left, where X is the time to a full rollout. Then, drivers without the system would know that seeing an EasyGO card is equivalent to seeing a corporate pass.
