Proof of payment
When boarding the vehicle, you must show the driver your OPUS paratransit ID card and pay your fare.
The driver will record the payment method on the trip sheet: exact change, ticket (magnetic card) or weekly, monthly or 4-month CAM charged on an OPUS card.
Inspection
At any time during the trip, an STM inspector may ask to see the trip sheet and your transit fare to verify that the correct fare has been paid.
If you have not paid your fare, you may be mailed a statement of offence along with a fine of up to $500, as provided for in STM Regulation R-105.
If you are legally responsible for a paratransit user, you will be responsible for their offence, and the statement of offence will be issued in your name.
Are you legally responsible for a paratransit user?
As the person responsible for a paratransit user, you must ensure that the user shows their OPUS paratransit ID card and pays their fare for each trip.
