A method of operating a gateline includes obtaining, at a computing device, information indicative of one or both of a current or predicted amount of throughput of transit users through the gateline and calculating, based at least in part of the information, a desired configuration of one or more fare gates in the gateline. The desired configuration is compared to a current gateline configuration. A command is sent to the gateline to adjust the current gateline configuration to match the desired configuration based on a determination that the desired configuration is different than the current gateline configuration.
