OPUS Schoolchildren 6-11 years old

 

Schoolchildren card 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.
