HOW TO GET AROUND

Metro - Nothing compares to the Métro system in Montréal, which is run by the STM (Société de transport de Montréal). On the street, blue and white signs with an image of a circle enclosing a downward-pointing arrow identify the stops.
Bus - The cost of a bus ride is the same as that of a Métro train, and Métro passes are also valid on buses. You must have exact change in order to pay on the transport. Although they don't operate as frequently or quickly as the Métro, buses provide tourists with the benefit of traveling aboveground throughout the city. For wheelchair and stroller access, some buses have steps at the front doors.
Bicycle - Bicycling is extremely popular in Montréal, where there is an excellent network of bike lanes for both recreation and transit.
