Ontario transit agency Metrolinx recently began using AMP’s 8200 EMV for the Union Pearson Express, which transports four million riders annually between the Toronto airport and the city. It marks the first time this smart terminal has been deployed for transit purposes. The 8200 EMV is PCI and PA-DSS compliant.
