## Description

Chrono Mobile is the official application of the transit corporations (exo, REM, RTL, STL and STM). It has been developed to give its users a complete metropolitan experience. 

Whether by bike (BIXI), metro, Communauto, river shuttle, bus or train, Chrono lets you buy your fares, find the best route for your next trip or reserve an alternative mode of transportation.

Download the application, create, and personalize your account to benefit from all the features:
-Avoid queues, reload your OPUS card, and buy fares.
-Access information on the entire metropolitan network: real-time* and planned complete schedules, bus and train positions and occupancy levels, network map, etc. 
-Reserve your next BIXI, book a Communauto or Communauto Flex
-Plan all your future trips by public transit or bicycle.
-Create favorites and alerts for lines and stops you use often. 
-Read the contents of all your cards (OPUS and occasional) and find a new point of sale to buy your tickets.

* When data is available.

## Rankings

- #244,346 — Overall

## Review summary

Reviewers repeatedly cite account activation problems, ticket-loading errors, and unreliable OPUS/NFC card reading as the main drawbacks. Server downtime and slow data Sync worsen usability. On the upside, a few reviewers note NFC support, daily-use value for city travel, and some benefit from up-to-date routing. Overall sentiment is dominated by reliability and account setup issues, with limited positive features highlighted.

### Pros

- NFC/iPhone integration for transport cards (NFC support)
- Great app to get around the city and used daily
- Up-to-date rerouting information that is a life saver

### Cons

- Cannot create an account due to activation email not being received
- Frequent errors when loading tickets (e.g., 'Error occurred while trying to load your tickets') and generic error messages
- OPUS card reading/reloading not functioning and not integrated with Apple Wallet
- Server downtime and reliability issues (server down, long data/schedule load times)
- Perceived poor quality/UX and the sense that updates do not fix ongoing issues
