I recommend prospective users to read the FAQ. It comes with a lot of gotchas.

It’s really a digital version of the OPUS cards, with the same constraints.

https://www.artm.quebec/en/chrono-faq/

Je suggère que les usagers potentiels lisent la FAQ. Elle vient avec beaucoup de bémols.

C’est vraiment une version numérique des cartes OPUS, avec les mêmes contraintes.

The ARTM has finally launched the virtual OPUS card*

only on Android

https://www.artm.quebec/en/chrono-aide/how-to-use-the-virtual-fares-feature/

At least, like any virtual card that respects itself, it’s free instead of $6

L’ARTM a finalement lancée la carte OPUS dématérialisée*

Android uniquement

https://www.artm.quebec/chrono-aide/comment-utiliser-la-fonctionnalite-titres-virtuels/

Au moins, comme toute carte dématérialisée qui se respecte, elle est gratuite au lieu de 6$

So to compare... Morning commute: 68 minutes with a car vs 73 minutes without one And I get time to pick up a coffee Evening commute 70.5 minutes vs 92 minutes Not only it's faster and far less stressful, but also more consistent. I really wish I had better choices. #Montreal #REM #STM #exo #STL

I complain quite a bit about public transportation in Montréal. Not because I want to, but because it can be *so much* better. It’s not normal that a 30km commute in Montréal takes 2 hours avg. when the same distance in Ottawa takes 90min, or you could do 50km in Vancouver #Montréal #STM #exo #STL #RTL #ARTM

And it took 2 hours 50. I hope tonight, I can catch the train that leaves -6 minutes after my shift ends. Otherwise, we’re probably looking at a 2 hour commute. I really should have gone home when that bus was a no show 😢 #Montréal #REM #STL #exo

Time to leave… seriously, this morning’s commute was a sign of how my day would unfold. Am I making the train that left the Lucien-l’Allier station 40 minutes ago? Hell no. So, I already have a 1 hour commute. #Montréal #REM #STL #exo

I’m sitting on world’s probably most uncomfortable* bench waiting for the next train.

The train left as I was entering the station. The bus option didn’t show up, so next train it is (1 hour 8 minutes later!)

Train station’s concrete foundation. There are no benches here 😩 (nor A/C)

🤞 I get my car repaired tomorrow

Well… the train that showed up either has no A/C or ventilation. It’s really hot here 🥵 #Montréal #Laval #exo #STL

And done. The commute home took 92 minutes. That’s 40 minutes faster than before the LRT. Still much slower than driving to the LRT station. #Montréal #STM #STL #exo

OK, that works... Quite impressed with @jlc3dp@bird.makeup The PCB with LEDs to go inside is expected tomorrow. Update: Someone asked me if this image was real, not AI, or proof of concept: FFS, it is a real photograph I took of a real 3D print! And yes, I am mastodon only now, so bloody well boost 🙂 thanks. Yes, thank you. P.S. never expected "bloody well boost" to work. Extra cool. Thanks all. #stargate #openscad #stl
