Are you ready to turn transit into your next SoftPOS growth market?
Public transport is becoming one of the fastest-growing opportunities for SoftPOS providers. Operators are accelerating the shift to open-loop, contactless payments to reduce costs, simplify operations, and deploy at scale.
For providers, transit combines high volumes, recurring revenue, and long-term contracts. Capturing it requires more than NFC on a smartphone — it demands solutions built for reliability, scale, and real-world operations.
Transit & SoftPOS : market signals
- The global public transport SoftPOS segment generated $60.9M in 2024
- It is expected to reach $193.3M by 2030
- This implies a CAGR of 21.7% (2025–2030)
Transit is no longer a pilot market : it is a strategic growth opportunity.
Why transit pushes SoftPOS beyond retail
Transit payment environments impose stringent requirements. Fare collection and inspection must happen in seconds, during peak hours, by agents operating on the move, often with intermittent connectivity. SoftPOS must also integrate seamlessly with ticketing and back-office systems.
Unlike retail, where payment speed and flexibility matter, transit demands transaction reliability, EMV compliance, and operational robustness. Solutions that work in other sectors can struggle to meet these standards without targeted capabilities.
What SoftPOS providers are facing today
Many SoftPOS providers encounter similar obstacles when targeting the transit market: pilots that fail to scale, integration complexity that slows sales, and performance issues that only surface in real field conditions. Compliance and certification add further risk and uncertainty.
These challenges don’t just affect your technology : they slow your time-to-market, weaken credibility with transit authorities, and limit revenue potential.
Amadis: enabling SoftPOS at transit scale
Amadis partners with SoftPOS providers to secure and accelerate their transit projects. Our solutions are built specifically for high-volume, mobile, and security-critical environments.
Powered by our EMV Level 2 kernels, Amadis enables SoftPOS solutions that support both payment acceptance and fare verification on a single device. We focus on robustness, compliance, and seamless integration, ensuring that SoftPOS performs reliably in real operational conditions, not just in pilots.
With Amadis, SoftPOS providers can focus on product differentiation and commercial growth, while we handle the complexity of execution in transit environments.
One device. One flow. Full control.
In a transit scenario: a passenger taps their card or mobile wallet, a secure token is generated, and the transport agent instantly validates the ride using the same smartphone. If no valid token exists, the system can process the fare on the spot : securely and within EMV standards.
No additional hardware, no dedicated terminal. Just mobility, security, and simplicity.
Ready to scale SoftPOS in transit?
Whether you are entering the transit market, running pilots, or preparing large-scale deployments, Amadis helps you move faster with confidence.
