Getting to the Workshop.

 
by Air:

Montreal is served by the Pierre-Elliot Trudeau Airport (YUL), located about 30 minutes from downtown. Taxis charge a $40 flat rate from the airport to the downtown area.

 

You can also take the 747 Express bus, which makes several stops in the downtown area. The fare is $10 and includes a pass for unlimited use of Montreal public transportation for 24 hours. The pass may be purchased at the airport (cash/credit) or on the bus (coins only). More information about public transportation can be found below.

 

by Bus:

The Gare d'autocars de Montréal is the primary bus terminal in Montreal for inter-city travel. It is located at Berri-UQAM metro, only 4-5 metro stops away from the conference venue. Several bus companies go to Montreal from both within Canada and the US, including Greyhound and Megabus.

 

by Train:

Montreal's Gare Centrale is in the heart of downtown, just 6 blocks away from the conference venue. It is serviced by Amtrak for US destinations and ViaRail for Canadian ones.

 

Public Transportation:

Montreal boasts a fairly extensive bus and metro system. The fare for single trips (unlimited transfers between the metro and buses within 2 hours from start of trip) is $3. Discounted fares are available for multiple trips purchased in one transaction. Depending on how long you plan to stay in Montreal, you may want to consider a 3-day pass, which gives you unlimited trips for 3 consecutive days. The fare for this pass is $18 and can be used to take the 747 Express bus to the airport at no extra charge.
