The STO's Passe-Partout PLUS smart cards are all personalized,
meaning that each one has a photo of the person who is authorized
to use it and the fare category (adult, student or senior).
The smart card can be used in two ways:
 |
As a pass. |
 |
|
|
As a personalized ID card to accompany
the use of a reduced fare ticket. |
Smart cards can be
purchased at our issuing
centres for $8.00, taxes included.
The system offers significant advantages. It allows for better
fare control, better knowledge of consumer profiles for the
services provided, and gives the STO the chance to offer services
that are better adapted to the needs of its clientele, as
well as new fare possibilities.
The many benefits for patrons include the possibility of
restoring the data from a lost or stolen card on a new card.
The Passe-Partout Plus card is not just a plastic
card. It is a contactless smart card that acts as an identity
card and a rechargeable transit pass.
The Passe-Partout Plus card contains
a built-in antenna and a memory chip. The antenna is used
to establish communications between the card and the central
system. The memory chip makes it possible to store the pass
information.
