@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Hi STO I logged in to my STO profile online to link my multi-yard but it said ´the card could not be validated’ - do I need to call to have my card added to my STO profile? Will I then be able to add money to my multi card virtually?

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Yes, we have a service point at Canevas. It is open from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. today. You can find the opening hours schedule here: sto.ca/en/useful-info…

@OC_TranspoHelps @STOGatineau Can I use my Presto card to get on a STO bus in Gatineau and then transfer to a @OC_Transpo bus once in Ottawa? I work in Gatineau but live in Ottawa

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Thanks! I got the card. Can I load it online? I created an STO profile but it says ‘this page isn’t working’ when I try to login and I’m not sure how to link the multi-card I bought at Canevas to a virtual profile with payment options etc

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Based on the map could I buy the muliti-card here at 425 Boulevard St Joseph? espacecanevas.com

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Yes!

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Thanks! Can I buy over lunch hour 12-1pm?

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo You don't need a proof of residence to buy an e-wallet STO card! :)

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Thank you! I have my driver’s license which shows my Ontario home province but I just moved to a new address in Ottawa so my address on my license is not up to date yet. Can I get the STO card if I go to the service point/point of sale and verbally give them my new address?

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo For the first time, you need to go to one of our service points or points of sale to buy your card. You can find the list here: sto.ca/en/fares/sales…. Once you have the card, you can call us (819 770-3242) to add it to your profile to be able to reload it online after.

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Got it - thanks! What is website or app to use for the STO e-wallet purchase?

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo ( 2 of 2) Thus, your card would be valid in the morning but not in the evening, coming back from work. You can either purchase an STO e-wallet card to use in the evening or purchase a monthly subscription that is valid on both STO and OC Transpo network at all times.

@STOGatineau @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo I have just a presto plastic card at the moment that I've loaded $ onto to pay my fares but I started a new job in Gatineau where I commute from Ottawa and back 3/week so am trying to see what my best options are (e.g., can I just use my existing Presto card for both ways?)

@EricRShoesmith @OC_TranspoHelps @OC_Transpo Hi Eric, do you have a monthly or an e-wallet Presto card?

Awesome game last night. Buzzing arena, hat trick for the captain, and a shutout brilliant performance in goal. Doesn’t get much better for watching your local team!
