The OPUS card is very versatile! It can be loaded with all kinds of fares (membership, monthly pass, 1 or 6 trips) and for various transit agencies. You can reload it:
The OPUS card doesn't last forever! It has a useful life of 4 years, after which it stops working, even if it is still loaded with fares. Replace your OPUS card before it expires and recover the valid fares loaded on it by heading to one of our metropolitan ticket offices. Your unexpired fares will be transferred on another card. Check your card's expiration date.
If you have already bought a new OPUS card, visit the Postal processing of expired OPUS card page to see the instructions.
Why register your card? It's your guarantee in the event of loss, theft or damage! Your new OPUS card will reflect your unexpired transit fares.
Are you eligible for a reduced fare? You will need an OPUS card with photo. Here's how to get one.
