- Have to go somewhere in Montreal
- Oh look, a bike rental stand! Montreal has a bike rental system!
- Oh look, it's Tangerine, the same system from Toronto I'm already used to!
- Oh, the Montreal version doesn't use the same app.
- Oh, the Montreal app doesn't use the same login/pass or payment information as the Toronto one, and it doesn't support Google Pay.
- Oh… after entering my payment information it gives a non actionable error and refuses to let me make an account.
- Guess I'm walking

LATER

- Have to go somewhere else in Montreal
- Bike rental system isn't an option because you can only pay with an app that does not work
- Well, no problem, I'll take the bus
- Oh wait no you can only pay for the bus with a specific piece of plastic, which you can only get by going to a subway station, which you can only get to by taking the bus, which you can only do if you already have the specific piece of plastic

Does Pharmaprix sell Opus cards? The website seems to suggest SOME but not ALL Pharmaprixes sell Opus cards

EDIT: The pharmaprix the website claimed did not sell opus cards, sold opus cards

UPDATE: After a great deal of confused, difficult effort trying to get an opus card, the card reader on the bus was broken so I got to ride for free.
