It is clever and it's already in use. It's called 'city-ticket' but you must have a Bahncard to use it. A Bahncard is a card that costs x per year and then all tickets purchased with it have 25%, 50% or 100% knocked off depending on whether you have the Bahncard25, Bahncard50 or Bahncard100 respectively. AFAIK a regular non-Bahncard user (very few regular users wouldn't have at least invested in a Bahncard25 or 50 which are about €100-€200 per year, the 100 costs about €2,000 however!) cannot avail of city-ticket.
