Schoolchildren 6-11 years old

Children 6 to 11 years old who want to pay reduced fare transit passes must have a registered photo ID OPUS card. Once the card is issued, parents can load it with the appropriate transit fares needed by their child. However, children who only travel occasionally on an STM bus or on the métro can pay the reduced fare without having a photo ID OPUS card if they pay in cash (exact payment only on buses).

Where to obtain transit fares

The different types of transit fares that can be loaded on the card are all available from métro fare collectors or fare vending machines, as well as from any one of the 500 retail outlets located in a neighbourhood near you.

Because the card is registered, it will be possible to recover the fare balance should the card be damaged, lost or stolen. Please note, however, that a replacement fee will apply. Consult the Replacement guarantee section for more details.

On weekends and holidays, children under the age of 12 travel for free when accompanied by an adult (maximum of five children per adult) holding a valid transit fare.

How to request a card ?  

• Print and fill out the registration form.
• Go to the OPUS card delivery office. Customer notice: the Photo Studio is moving to 1717 Berri Street, Berri-UQAM station as of March 1, 2013

You must have with you:

• The registration form filled out, printed and signed by parental authority;
• The amount needed to cover the card issuance and fare privilege fees.; proof of age could also be required.  

Validity 

The card is valid until October 31 of the year your child turns 12.  

Thanks to the Family Outings program, on weekends and legal holidays, children under the age of 12 travel for free when accompanied by an adult (maximum of five children per adult) holding a valid transit fare.
