This has just been re-named to
Opus (smart card), which I regard as a fairly bad name on the grounds that it's not a smart card technology, but the name of a roll-out project within a public transport network. Following the example of
Oyster card, how about simply
Opus card?

What technology does this card use? There ought to be some explanation of this (and the implications for users) and ideally links to ext. refs on the tech and comparisons with other cities using the same tech. It's very rare today that such a system uses a wholly new card format.
If, as one of the refs suggests, this is the same tech as the London
Oyster card, then the Dutch vulnerabilities are of serious notability. This ref ought to be in here

The old MIFARE classics are cracked, not the new MIFAREs. STM is buying their cards from Oberthur CS and they're all based off the new MIFARE cards. http://www.oberthurcs.com/getpage.aspx?id=91 206.248.152.178 ( talk) 07:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)jaime—Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.152.178 ( talk) 07:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
BIXI is now accepting OPUS. Leaving this here until I sort out how to put it properly in the article, don't have time at the instant. BIXI Montreal [1] | Summer 2017

The first sentence says it is a "stored-value smart card" and the last sentence under Fares mentions "its lack of stored-value capability". One of those is wrong. JoeBrennan ( talk) 18:48, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Where does the name "OPUS" come from? Is it an acronym? If so, what does it stand for? ESP ( talk) 17:44, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
OK, my kids just explained it to me. Carte OPUS is a pun on carte au puce, the French word for a card with a chip in it. I'll find a reference and add it. ESP ( talk) 17:48, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Per MOS:TM, and "Opus" not being an acronym, I've moved this to Opus card. — Joeyconnick ( talk) 18:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
