### 🚍 Public Transit (Best Budget Option) * **747 Express Bus**: Runs 24/7 between the airport and downtown. * Travel time: \~45–60 minutes (depends on traffic). * Cost: **\$11** (valid for 24 hours on all STM buses and metro). * Tickets: Buy at the vending machines inside the airport (credit/debit accepted), or pay exact change on the bus. * Drops you at central points downtown like **Berri-UQAM**, **Gare d’autocars**, and near major hotels. ### 🚖 Taxi or Uber (Fastest Door-to-Door) * Travel time: \~20–30 minutes (outside rush hour). * Cost: **Flat fare \$48.40 CAD** (taxi) to downtown. * Ride-share services (Uber, Lyft) are available and prices are usually similar to taxis but can fluctuate. ### 🚇 Combined Train + Bus * Take **exo commuter train** (Deux-Montagnes line) or the **REM light rail** (opening gradually). * For now, you’d need to connect via bus, but once fully open, REM will link the airport to downtown in **20–25 minutes**. * Cost: around **\$10**. ### 🚗 Rental Car * Only recommended if you plan to travel outside the city—downtown traffic and parking can be tricky and expensive. ✅ **Recommendation for your first day**: If you’re tired from travel and carrying luggage, a **taxi/Uber** is the most convenient. If you’re looking to save money and don’t mind a longer ride, the **747 bus** is easy and popular with travelers.
