Simplified
The Vendstar’s simple self-service interface lets riders make sure their smart media is funded at convenient locations along a service route before they board, reducing dwell time. Fare structure modifications, changes to TVM displays and messages, software downloads, and reboots can be performed remotely, reducing IT and administrative staff burden.

It is ADA compliant with wheelchair accessible controls, raised letters, Braille labels, and audio instructions. Instructions can be multilingual to service the agecy’s diverse community.
Connected
The Vendstar uses an ethernet, Wi-Fi, fiber optic, or cellular connection to provide real-time, continuous communication with Genfare Link®, Genfare’s cloud-hosted central fare management and processing platform. This allows remote monitoring, configuration, and updating of the TVM as well as collection of transaction and cumulative data and creation of reports.
Secure
The Vendstar TVM is PCI and EMV compliant, ensuring secure transactions and minimizing risk of data breaches. Its solid design and physical security features, including fisheye security camera and real-time alarms and alerts, prevent theft of currency.
Durable
Built to last, the Vendstar is made of a heavy-gauge stainless steel with a powder-coated finish. Its 3-lock tamper-resistant locking system is highly resistant to vandalism. HVAC heating and air conditioning extends the TVMs life in any climate.
