Travel

Getting around Montreal

• Montréal Tourism Office website, with the official Tourist Guide and official tourist map on the home page: Montréal Tourism Office
• To get to the city from Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL): you can take the 747 bus, a cab or Uber/Lyft (you'll need the Uber or Lyft mobile app to book).
• Metro and bus: You'll find all the information you need (fares, route map, etc.) on the Société de transport de Montréal website. You can buy your tickets in metro stations (machines and station agent kiosks). There are single passes, a “3 days, All modes A” pass for unlimited travel for three consecutive days, or other configurations. On buses, you can only pay for a 1-trip ticket ($3.75) with exact change. Always keep your ticket with you for connections and in case of checkpoints.
• Cabs: You'll find cabs all over town, but you can order one online or by phone (see the Bonjour Taxi website). You can also use Uber/Lyft (you'll need the Uber or Lyft mobile app to book).
• Bikes: You can get around by bike with BIXI; electric bikes are also available. Stations are located near McGill (map here).
