Passio supplies automatic passenger counting as one module of a modular transit platform aimed at campuses, municipalities and specialised fleets. Counting runs on a ruggedised Android mobile data terminal, with fully automated counting available through a sensor partnership, and data flows to Passio Navigator, the cloud dashboard and reporting tool. Passenger data is recorded with time, date, location, stop, route and passenger type, and can be surfaced to riders through the Passio GO app. The wider platform covers CAD/AVL, automated voice announcements, LED signage and ID-card boarding validation.

TransLoc supplies an automatic passenger counting solution together with the supporting onboard hardware, designed to integrate with its own CAD/AVL platform and reporting dashboards. Counts are reported at 98–99% accuracy, meeting the FTA's 95% confidence and precision standard for National Transit Database reporting, and TransLoc also supports agencies through NTD certification. The units use polygon-based bi-directional counting to avoid double-counting, compensate automatically for sliding or swinging doors, and allow remote diagnostics without site visits. TransLoc's heritage is campus and shuttle transit, which is still reflected in its customer base.

UTA designs and supplies its own automatic passenger counting sensors and hardware, installed either by UTA staff or fitted by the bus manufacturer at build. Hardware diagnostics report device status and feed data-quality indicators into UTA's APC Analytics software, which uses IBM SPSS to generate bus and rail ridership analysis, service-exception handling and custom reporting. UTA states that every transit agency applying for NTD using its APC system has been approved, and it also provides NTD reporting software to other vendors in this landscape. Data exports to Excel, CSV, GIS and major scheduling systems, with direct ODBC access to the underlying database.
