By the end of April, Laval commuters will be able to use their home computers to pay for their monthly bus pass. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have signed an agreement with Chase Paymentech, which will be the official provider to handle the transactions,\u201d David de Cotis told The Suburban.<\/i>
\n
<\/i>\u201cYou will be able to make the payment using your credit card,\u201d the Laval transit authority chairman said in an interview. \u201cIn the future, you will be able to charge your Opus card using your bank debit card as well. It will spare Laval commuters the long lineups at d\u00e9panneurs or Metro ticket offices.\u201d <\/p>\n

There is a catch: For your computer to read your Opus card, you\u2019ll have to buy a card reader that will plug into your computer. From quick scan online, it appears that the devices are easily obtained from vendors like Amazon for less than $20.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe user will insert their opus card reader into the computer\u2019s USB outlet, connect to the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de Laval<\/i> website<\/a> and enter their credit card information to replenish their Opus card,\u201d de Cotis explained. \u201cIt\u2019s very quick and efficient. Why should you have to waste time in a lineup that you could instead be spending with your family?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive for technological leadership among transit authorities,\u201d he crowed. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to remain in the avant-garde and are one of the first to implement this option.\u201d
