Fare measure for the Deux-Montagnes line

During construction of the REM, the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM), exo and Mobility Montréal partners are offering users of the exo6 Deux-Montagnes line a fare measure to encourage the use of public transit.

The fare measure in brief

  • Up to 5 months of free transportation in 2020

  • A preferential fixed rate based on the cost of a monthly pass for the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) for subsequent monthly passes, i.e. $88.50 for the regular fare or $53 for student and reduced-rate fares. On July 1, 2023, these rates were indexed to $97 and $58, respectively.

  • Free rail and 964 shuttles offered until December 31, 2020 as part of mitigation measures.

Certain conditions apply. See the terms and conditions.

Eligibility requirements

What are the eligibility requirements?

The fare measure is available for exo6 Deux-Montagnes line users who:

  • Registered for the 2018-2019 fare measure by September 8, 2019.

  • Reside in the catchment area for the line determined by the Autorité régionale de transport métropolitain (ARTM).

  • Hold a valid OPUS+ or OPUS+ entreprise subscription.

Transit fares

MTLREM and TRAMREM

Two (2) REM fares are available to exo6 Deux-Montagnes train users who are eligible for this measure.

  • The MTLREM pass provides access to transit services on the Island of Montréal only, in addition to the shuttles created for the mitigation measure.

  • The TRAMREM pass provides access to the entire metropolitan public transit network, which includes trains, buses, the métro and shuttles.

Both fares are available at a preferential rate: $88.50 for the regular fare or $53 for student and reduced-rate fares. On July 1, 2023, these rates were indexed to $97 and $58, respectively.

The MTL-REM pass provides access to STM buses and Montréal métro stations only, as well as shuttles. In other words, Montmorency, De la Concorde, Cartier and Longueuil stations are not covered by this fare.

The TRAMREM pass provides access to the entire metropolitan public transit network, including trains, buses, the métro and shuttles.

To use shuttles 404, 496, 498 and 499, you must have one of the following fares:

  • Bus fare

  • All Modes ABC fare

  • All Modes ABCD fare

  • All Modes A fare + free shuttle LAU-404 pass (encoded on the card)*

  • All Modes AB fare for riders travelling between Sainte-Dorothée (Laval) and Montréal

  • MTL-REM and TRAMREM passes

  • “Unlimited Evening” and “Unlimited Weekend” passes

  • Former single and multiple-trip tickets for the Laurentides sector or TRAM 3

Users who hold a monthly STM pass may visit a metropolitan ticket office to obtain a free pass (LAU-404).

Users who hold a monthly All Modes Zone A fare may visit a metropolitan ticket office to obtain a free pass that will allow them to use these shuttles. Please note that cash payment aboard is not authorized.

Shuttle 904 provides free service between Deux-Montagnes and Grand-Moulin stations. To transfer to another service to complete your trip, you must nevertheless hold a valid transit fare according to the rates in effect.

Grace period end date: As of September 17, 2022, the All Modes C fares will no longer be valid aboard exo REM shuttles 404, 496, 498 and 499.

Which fare am I entitled to?

Your transit fare is determined according to your area of residence.

  • Users who reside in another zone will automatically benefit from an MTLREM fare.

Users who do not reside in Zone 3 but already hold a TRAMREM pass as part of the fare measure may continue to use this fare.

The fare measure allows eligible users to obtain up to five (5) consecutive months of free transit in 2020.

How many free months am I entitled to?

  • Users who registered before December 10, 2019, received the months of January to May 2020 for free.

  • Users who registered between December 11, 2019, and July 10, 2020, also received five consecutive months for free, defined according to their month of registration.

End of validity for the 5 free months offer

The 5 free months are only available in 2020.

For subsequent years, OPUS+ subscribers will get the 12th month free, as provided for in the membership program terms and conditions.

OPUS+ entreprise subscribers will receive a monthly rebate of 8.33% on their fare.

To learn more about these advantages, we invite you to consult the terms and conditions of the OPUS+ and OPUS+ entreprise programs.
Fare measure and free 12th month for OPUS+ and OPUS+ entreprise subscriptions

The OPUS+ program gives subscribers a free month every year (the 12th month) after they have paid the 11 monthly instalments.

  • For new subscribers in 2020: as the first 5 months following your registration to the fare measure are free, the 6th month will be considered to be the 1st paid month. For example, if you register for the measure on October 5, 2020, you will obtain the fares of November and December 2020 for free; you will pay the monthly instalments from January to November 2021, and you will receive the month of December 2021 for free as the 12th free month.

  • For users who are already OPUS+ subscribers before registering for the fare measure: the monthly payment timer used to calculate your 12th free month in the OPUS+ program will be suspended during the period of 5 free months. The timer begins again in the subsequent paid month.

Cancelling your subscription

How do I end my subscription?

To terminate your subscription, you must:

  • Log in to your online account or contact exo Customer Service.

  • Provide notice no later than the 10th day of the month preceding the month you plan to terminate your subscription, failing which the cancellation will only apply on the 1st day of the following month.

For example, to terminate a subscription on November 30, 2020, the termination request must be made by November 10, 2020. If the request is received on November 11, 2020, or in the days following that date, the subscription will only end on December 31, 2020.

The ARTM and exo are not liable for a termination request made by a user after the 10th day of the month preceding the month they plan to terminate their subscription. No reimbursement will be granted, if applicable.
