 | Montreal Car/Auto Reviews | Tips 21 - 30 of 30 |  |
You MUST have a map to navigate this city. Even then, it can be daunting to get around. Take your time, get honked at (rare, most folks are too polite to honk), whatever it takes, but get oriented and know where you're going, how to get there, and how to reroute if you need to because traffic jams are frequent but brief.

It was one brutal drive up to Montreal...but it was worse driving back from Montreal because of MAJOR traffic! But I guess you do get to know your travel buddies if you don't already know them. Hint....if you're driving with guys and you're female, bring a copy of Cosmo...it'll entertain the bunch ;) You'll probably learn some interesting things too! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Connected throughout the world by major airlines, Montréal is only an hour and a half from New York, two hours from Chicago, and 6½ hours from London. Montréal's airports are conveniently close. Taxi's, limousines and shuttle buses get travelers quickly to and from the city center, stopping at major hotels. Services are excellent, and available in many languages.
Trains from New York or Washington stop at Montréal's Gare Centrale, also the main stop for domestic trains from Eastern or Western Canada. The downtown stop is conveniently connected to Bonaventure underground Métro by a pedestrian corridor. Bus travelers land at downtown Terminus Voyageur, connected to the Métro.
By car, Montréal is only 47 km (29 mi) from the New York border. The New York State Thruway (I-87) becomes Route 15, U.S. I-89 becomes two-lane Route 133, joining Route 10 at the border. From I-91 in Massachusetts, Routes 55 and 10 reach Montréal. Entering from east or western Canada, Montréal is accessible on route 401, or the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) via routes 20 and 40. Québec road signs are in French, and speed limits are in kilometers (100 kph equals about 62 mph). Gasoline is sold in liters (3¾ liters equal 1 U.S. gallon).
In town, use the public transportation system (buses and metro) ... for more info:

You can easily travel from Montréal to any other city within the province and even to other provinces or the US by bus or train.
Driving in Montréal can be quite an adventure as Montrealers are fast drivers ... and not very polite! But you can easily drive to other cities on one of the many highways. Remember that the province of Quebec doesn't have anymore toll highways, so you can spend you money elsewhere!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
