Processing an expired OPUS card
The OPUS card has an expiry date, after which it will no longer work, even if it is still loaded with fares. In such a case, you will need to buy new fares to get around.
For details on the expiration date of your OPUS card, visit the official OPUS card expiration date verification site.
