Xiamen Lansce Communication Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 430491), a national leader in smart transportation solutions, has emerged as a pioneer in developing cutting-edge payment terminals specifically designed for buses and public transport vehicles.
With nearly two decades of expertise in the smart transportation sector, Lansce has established itself as a comprehensive solution provider serving the smart transportation, vehicle networking, and smart sanitation markets. Our payment terminal solutions represent the culmination of extensive R&D and field testing, addressing the unique challenges faced by public transport operators while delivering unparalleled convenience for passengers.
Comprehensive Payment Solutions for Modern Transit Systems
Lansce’s flagship payment terminal product line represents a revolutionary approach to public transport payments, combining multiple functionalities into a single, robust device. These terminals are engineered to support diverse payment methods while ensuring reliable operation even in challenging network conditions. The core features that set our payment terminals apart include:
Multi-Payment Method Support
Our payment terminals accept a wide range of payment options including QR code scanning, magnetic stripe cards, NFC payments, ID card payments, and traditional bank cards. Premium models even incorporate advanced biometric authentication through face recognition and palm vein scanning technologies. This comprehensive payment support ensures that passengers can use their preferred payment method, eliminating barriers to entry and streamlining the boarding process.
The multi-payment capability is particularly valuable in diverse urban environments where passengers may carry different types of payment instruments. By accommodating all major payment standards, our terminals future-proof transit systems against evolving payment trends and technological advancements.
Offline Payment Functionality
One of the most critical features of Lansce’s payment terminals is their robust offline payment capability. Equipped with intelligent caching systems, these devices can continue processing payments even when 4G network connectivity is unavailable or unreliable. This ensures uninterrupted service in remote areas, underground tunnels, or during network outages, maintaining operational continuity and preventing revenue loss.
The offline payment data is automatically synchronized with the central management system once network connectivity is restored, providing accurate transaction records without requiring manual intervention. This feature has proven particularly valuable in emerging markets where network infrastructure may be less developed.
Global Deployment Experience
Lansce’s payment terminal solutions have been successfully implemented in over 400 cities worldwide, with more than 1 million devices installed across various public transport fleets. Our international footprint spans 40+ countries including Thailand, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the UAE, Mongolia, Pakistan, and Malaysia, demonstrating the universal applicability and reliability of our technology.
This global deployment experience has enabled us to refine our products to meet diverse operational requirements and regulatory standards. Our terminals support multiple languages, currency formats, and regional payment protocols, making them ideal for international transit operators seeking standardized yet adaptable payment solutions.

This integration enables transit operators to gain holistic visibility into their operations, combining payment data with other operational metrics to drive informed decision-making. The centralized management system provides real-time monitoring of all payment terminals, facilitating quick troubleshooting and remote configuration updates.
For passengers, this ecosystem approach enables seamless multimodal transportation experiences, where a single payment method works across different transit modes including buses, trains, ferries, and shared mobility services. This interoperability is crucial for building attractive, user-friendly public transport networks that can compete with private vehicle use.
Case Studies: Global Success Stories
Lansce’s payment terminal solutions have been implemented with remarkable success across diverse international markets. Two notable examples demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of our approach:
Middle East Transit Modernization
In a major Middle Eastern city, Lansce deployed over 5,000 advanced payment terminals across the bus network as part of a comprehensive transit modernization program. The solution supported multiple payment methods including a newly introduced contactless smart card system, mobile payments, and international credit cards.
The offline payment capability proved particularly valuable in areas with limited network coverage, ensuring continuous service during the initial rollout phase. The project resulted in a 35% increase in passenger numbers within the first year, attributed to the improved convenience and reliability of the payment system.
Southeast Asian MaaS Integration
In a Southeast Asian capital, Lansce implemented a unified payment platform integrating buses, commuter trains, and ferries. Our payment terminals served as the on-vehicle components of this system, accepting a city-issued contactless card that worked across all transit modes.
The solution included real-time fare calculation based on distance traveled and mode transfers, with payment data synchronized to the central system every 15 seconds when online. This project demonstrated the potential for integrated payment systems to create truly seamless multimodal transportation networks.
