In today’s rapidly evolving public transportation landscape, the bus payment terminal mainboard is no longer a simple hardware component. It has become the operational core that connects fare collection, passenger experience, data intelligence, and platform-level clearing systems.
As the Technical Director and Business Manager responsible for YunBlaze’s fare-collection product line, I have seen many customers struggle with selecting the right hardware configuration. Most integrators and transport operators focus on “spec sheets” or “device price,” but overlook the more critical aspect—scenario-driven architecture and long-term stability.
At YunBlaze Technologies, we follow the principle of Technology-Driven Scenario Innovation, ensuring every customer receives a customized, secure, and scalable mainboard solution designed specifically for real-world bus environments.
Why Customization Matters for Bus Payment Terminal Mainboards
Unlike general commercial payment devices, bus fare-collection systems face demanding operational conditions:
1. Harsh operating environments
A true bus-grade mainboard must feature:
2. Multi-method payment convergence
Modern buses require:
This demands multi-protocol coexistence, low-latency recognition, and unified security architecture.
3. Deep integration with back-end clearing systems
Fare policies, transfer rules, multi-wallet accounting, and offline fault tolerance all require a customizable payment logic layer that standard commercial terminals cannot offer.
This is why more customers are turning to YunBlaze custom mainboards—we design hardware that matches actual operational needs, not generic market templates.
How We Guide Customers to the Right Custom Mainboard Configuration
When consulting clients, I evaluate needs across five core dimensions:
1. CPU & System Architecture (Linux / RTOS / Android)
Different cities, lines, and fare systems require different OS choices:
We select CPU levels (Cortex-A7 / A35 / A53 / A55) based on QR scan speed, concurrent operations, and encryption workload.
2. Communication Module Integration
Bus systems often require multiple combined channels:
YunBlaze optimizes module combinations to reduce cost while ensuring platform compatibility and communication redundancy.
3. Payment & Security Architecture
Built on YunBlaze’s proprietary secure framework, our mainboards support:
This guarantees long-term compliance for fare systems, bank card payments, and city transport cards.
4. Vehicle Power & Durability Design
Vehicles often experience:
Our designs include:
Ensuring 5+ years of stable operation with minimized maintenance costs.
5. UI/UX Design for Public Transport
Many vendors overlook the importance of user experience.

Example Configuration for a Real Bus Operator
A typical requirement:
Recommended configuration:
This configuration balances cost, performance, and long-term reliability.
From a Business Perspective: Helping Customers Reduce Total Cost
As a business manager, I focus on helping clients optimize overall solution cost—not just the hardware price.
1. “Right-sized” configuration
We offer:
2. Clear delivery path
3. Total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction
We analyze:
Our solutions often lower TCO by 20–35% compared with generic fare-collection devices.
