OPUS card

Unless you pay cash, you must obtain an OPUS card
to travel with the STL. Paper tickets, in fact,
are no longer available. The OPUS card is easy and perfectly safe to use. As a senior over age 65, you are entitled to a reduced-fare OPUS card. In addition, this card, with your photo ID, is automatically registered. In case of loss, theft or breakage, we can therefore restore it for you, at a nominal replacement cost.

What to load in your card

Various types of fares may be loaded on the OPUS card. For example, you may load a monthly STL pass and 8 STM tickets. In fact, you can load your card with up to four different types of fares, depending on your destinations and the means of transportation you use, whether bus, metro or commuter train. Regardless of where and how you get around, an OPUS card is all you need and it recognizes which transit ticket or pass to debit.

Your OPUS card therefore accompanies you on all your trips in Laval and Greater Montreal!

OPUS +

OPUS+ is a membership to an indefinite-term transit pass. Your OPUS card is therefore valid all year long. You no longer have to wait in line at the end of every month to reload your OPUS card.

Once you subscribe, you automatically receive your OPUS card by mail—valid and ready to use.

The OPUS+ membership gives you so much more! For more information: OPUS +

If you use public transit only from time to time

Even if you travel on public transit only from time to time, you may still take advantage of all the benefits that this card has to offer you, because you can load tickets on the OPUS card. Without an OPUS card, you must pay the exact amount of the regular fare, in cash (no change is provided).

How to use your card

Just place the OPUS card on the target of the card reader on the bus or at the metro station to validate it. Then you can make a transfer, free of charge, during the next 90 minutes. To do so, place the card on the target of the reader again, on another route.

It’s easy to use!

• Touch the target of the reader with your OPUS card.
• Hold the card in place there for a moment.
• Wait for the signal.
• Show your photo to the driver or agent.

TIP: To check the number of trips remaining on your OPUS card, take note of the balance posted on the screen of the card reader, after you have placed your card on the target of the reader, or ask for a reading at one of the approximately 50 points of sale or at a metropolitan ticket office. To keep close track of your card balance, stick a paper on the front of your card and write down the number of trips remaining.

What to do in case of loss, theft or breakage

In case of loss, theft or breakage of your OPUS card, you must go to one of the two metropolitan ticket offices, with proof of identity. Your card, with the passes or tickets it contained, will be restored there, at a cost of $3.50 for the new card.
