Overview
What are transit & parking turnstiles?
Transit turnstiles and parking access gates are high-throughput entry systems built for transportation environments. They integrate with fare-collection and payment platforms to validate tickets, enforce single-passenger passage, and manage flow during peak travel, while supporting accessibility standards and emergency-egress requirements. The same hardware controls unstaffed station entries and parking-garage access around the clock.

What we solve
Transit & parking challenges we solve
Fare evasion & revenue loss
Anti-tailgating sensors and anti-passback logic enforce one passenger per fare, catching evaders by design and protecting ticket revenue.
Rush-hour bottlenecks
High-speed gates clear large peak-commute volumes per minute without creating dangerous platform crowding or long queues.
Fare-system integration
Works with contactless EMV, transit cards, mobile apps, and legacy readers, with open-loop and closed-loop payment support.
Accessibility requirements
Wide swing-gate lanes support wheelchairs, strollers, and luggage with the same fare validation as standard lanes.
Outdoor & weather exposure
IP-rated, stainless-steel construction handles rain, snow, and temperature extremes on exposed platforms and garage decks.
Emergency egress
Fail-safe design supports fire-code requirements: barriers release for evacuation while the event is logged.

Transit & parking turnstile FAQs
Our turnstiles integrate with all major fare collection platforms including contactless payment (EMV), transit cards, mobile ticketing apps, and legacy magnetic stripe systems. We support open-loop and closed-loop payment systems with real-time validation.
Parking turnstiles integrate with ticket dispensers, pay stations, license plate recognition, and monthly permit systems. They can validate payment before allowing exit, or work in conjunction with barrier gates for vehicle lanes.
Yes. Our high-speed transit gates accept contactless EMV (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay, Google Pay) via partner readers from Cubic, ACS, and others. Open-loop adoption typically reduces cash handling by 60–80% and speeds peak throughput.
