How to get around Montreal

As for other large cities, there are different ways to get around Montreal, none of them are easier or better than the others although driving has an extra degree of difficulty because of the lack of familiarity with the streets or montrealers' driving habits and finding a parking spot may be difficult. I personally recommend the metro/buses, not for the environmental issues, but because everything that's interesting to see in Montreal is near a metro station or easily accessible by city buses.

• Public transit, bus, metro and commuter trains
• By car, laws, maps, etc
• By bicycle or rollerblades
• By foot
• Taxi
