Montreal Transportation
I am thinking about taking my mom to Montreal for a few days as a mother/daughter trip this fall. I've real a lot about accomodations on this board, but not so much about getting around. Do we need to rent a car at the airport, or can we take a taxi into town and then use public transportation and taxis during our stay? I don't really want to rent a car if I don't have to. My driving makes my mother nervous enough in our home town much less another country. Also, is the airport far outside of town?

You do not need a car to visit Montreal. Taxi from airport to downtown is C$ 29 flat fee.<BR>In the city itself, public transportation is very good. The metro (subway) and bus system cab get you just about anywhere. You can get a tourist pass at any metro station.

Last month five of our family was in Montreal and took the train to Quebec City for a couple of days. It went very well. The train station in Montreal is close to the Metro (subway). <BR> <BR>The surprise for us was how hilly Quebec City was. We was not expecting that. <BR> <BR>Both Montreal and Quebec City are wonderful cities to visit. Enjoy!
