Transportation
Montréal is an extremely accessible city by foot, and a great public transport if you need to go farther.

Public transit
If you want to use city busses or the métro subway system, we recommend getting the “Opus” card 3-day, All modes A which includes the trip for the 747 from the airport.

Also, you can download the Chrono on your mobile device to view the transit schedules and plan your trips accordingly. You can also use the app to refill your Opus card if you need to.

Bixi
Bixi is a bike rental service which costs $1.35 per trip or $22 for a monthly subscription. There are Bixi stations all around the city and bike lanes conveniently located to facilitate your travels by bike.

Car
Parking spaces are limited around Cat's Corner, so plan your trip accordingly if traveling by car! You can also pay your parking meter through the P$ mobile service mobile app.

Housing
Because of local restrictions, there are no hotels in the MTL BAL JAM neighborhood. As such, you may consider other neighborhoods closer to downtown if you want to rent a room or a hostel. However, you can look on housing websites such as couchsurfing.
