Technologies are rapidly evolving, and keeping the OPUS en ligne website operational in order to reload transit fares online would require major investments, in particular to ensure ongoing upgrades to the code.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this situation. Rest assured that we are making every effort to provide you with new, practical solutions that will make it easier for you to purchase transit fares as soon as possible.

All project partners are currently working together to develop new solutions to make it easier for you to purchase transit fares.

As of the first semester of 2024, transit users will have the option to purchase transport tickets using their NFC-enabled smartphone and load them directly onto their OPUS card.

This new sales channel will be added to the existing ones: fare vending machines, metropolitan ticket offices, transit agency service outlets and authorized retailers.

Stay tuned for more information on these new options.
