5. OPUS CARD
OPUS

The OPUS card allows you to use public transportation in the city - the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). If you are a full-time student (or considered a full-time student), you can pay reduced fares by purchasing a student OPUS card (photo required).

If you meet eligibility criteria, you can apply online from your student file or directly in the STM photo studio, located at 1755 Berri Street, Montreal. The latter will be processing student requests by appointment only. 

Consult the STM CEEL document explaining how to order the OPUS card online.
