Getting Around

Getting to and from the Airport

Option 1: There is a bus from the airport to downtown called the 747 Express that costs $10 Canadian and only takes exact change in coins. Depending on where you’re staying, you can transfer from the bus to the metro (i.e., subway) system. You may wish to get a 3-day or weekly transit pass, as these also include the airport bus.
Option 2: Taxis offer a flat rate of $41 (plus tax and tip) from the airport to downtown.
Option 3: Another alternative is UberX, but note that pickup is in a specific spot at the airport.
Option 4: Some downtown hotels have shuttle service to and from the airport. (https://www.admtl.com/en/access/transports/hotel-shuttles).
