[@tigersayeed]

Hey man, you have no idea how much this video helped me. Keep up with the great practical videos like this 😊 A big thanks to you ma man!

[@malouj7932]

I'm literally on the plane watching your video before getting there. Never been si unprepared

[@juanitamatime5793]

To go to downtown by taxi, there is a fixed price: C$48.40 during the day and C$56.70 at night.

[@ChartTechChannel3688]

Do you mean I can take any taxi by the fixed price at the airport?

[@brianthemennonite]

My wife and I were nervous about doing this trip. We watched your video, followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

[@thoughtsontravelandlife]

Glad it helped! I have a lot more videos from Montreal if you're into that. Have a good one.

[@markasdievovaikas]

Nice video for Montreal new-comers! I've used the 747 bus, it's easy and inexpensive. But I took the 747 that goes all the way down Rene Levesque because I was going to Rue Peel in Le Mille Carre Dore. You don't mention that this is another option. This one went all the way across downtown to Berri-UQAM.

[@thoughtsontravelandlife]

Great tip!! I actually didn't know that

[@markasdievovaikas]

@@thoughtsontravelandlife Hi, Dan... I just checked the STM website and it appears both 747 options are still in service, terminating at Lionel-Groulx or Berri-UQAM. I don't think you advised your viewers that the 747 bus is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. (Helpful for people to know.) I remember Lionel-Groulx metro station well from going to Marche Atwater.

[@davidostrowski679]

I've used the 747 too!

[@jakot5777]

hey just wondering so if I stay on this 747 bus all the way until the end it will take me to downtown? that's where I need to go when I come .. so just wondering it will make it easier since It is my first time.. thanks

[@markasdievovaikas]

@@jakot5777 Yes, that's correct

[@interrobangings]

thank you thank you thank you. i have a really tight window between my flight and my train and I've been wondering how to do this

[@Polyllaleika]

This video is perfect to travel to downtown Montreal. We did it this past visit, since it was our first time there. Great work. 😊

Thank you Dan! Now I have visual cues the next time I land in Montreal.

Enjoy! My main channel "The new travel" has a bunch of montreal content as well

[@yaowsers77]

This was extremely helpful! I'm going to be staying at the Novotel so it looks like a couple of stops on the orange line for me!

[@Ile-des-Soeurs_Verdun]

Take the 747 at bus stop 60997. The airport has many buses: one goes to downtown (747), two go to West Montreal (204 and 209), one goes to Montreal North (460) and one goes to Lachine (356).

Thanks, Dan. I'm heading over to Montreal on Friday and was wondering if the 77b was a bus or train as Google isn't clear. Now it's crystal clear how I will get to the plateau, 747b bus to Berri. Cheers.

[@designyourownjewelryworksh8657]

Soooo helpful!

[@alainbellemare2168]

taxi to downtown is a fixed rate around 45 $

[@Ile-des-Soeurs_Verdun]

Lionel-Groulx isn't the last stop of the 747. That bus goes to Berri-UQAM station in Downtown Montreal via Rene-Levesque boulevard

[@derrickyanford8846]

Thank you. SO helpful!!!

[@ZoticusCo]

Thank you do much this is really helpful.

[@jeffdubz]

The ticketing machines can have hours-long waits at busy times, especially if several of the machines are broken. The 747 used to be fine during the pandemic but now it is often way too cramped. People who wait to board the 747-O at Lionel-Groulx are often turned away because the bus becomes incredibly full. It’s because of these reasons that I can no longer recommend taking the 747.

[@catherinejung5114]

Can you buy 3 days tickets from airport and use in anywhere in montreal including airport ride? Thank you in advance!!

[@enders0796]

I have to do your recommendation soon, thanks

[@mehrdadehsanizad6866]

tnx man. really appreciated

[@vangary100]

I saw your video. I think the last stop for the 747 is UQAM, the old Voyager Bus Terminal unless they made a change since I last visited. I'm going back to visit on Nov 4th from YVR and staying in Chinatown. I could use a bit of help and if anyone is willing, your Smoke Meat is on me. I'm going to be staying at Homewood Suites. If the weather turns ugly, I may just get off and take the Metro, the hotel is only about two blocks away. Now for all of you who might be in Montreal on Nov 11th, consider taking in the Remembrance Day Services at the Cenotaph downtown and also, watch for the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) marching up along Rene Levesque AKA" Dorchester.

[@JJR93]

So....I'm hearing it will be not until some time in 2027 that the light rail project to YUL (Trudeau Int'l Airport) will be completed which one can also take to get downtown once it is operational....once it's up and running I hope to return to Montreal. My first time was 2003 for my Honeymoon with my first wife. We had a wonderful time and I hope I can return in 2027.

[@pedrohads1987]

Can I use the same card to take the 747 and the REM to Brossard ?

[@sg1337]

Thank you, Dan. Very helpful

[@symbolicheresy]

Can you continue this bus into downtown? My location on Google maps I need to go to suggests to stay on after this stop towards my destination. Thank you for the video!

They need a train line directly from the airport like Toronto.

no only in advance

[@smttn1]

This is great/helpful, but what if you have a lot of large luggage? At other airports I've found spots to walk to where you can catch an Uber instead of an expensive taxi, do you know if there's a spot like that at the MTL airport?

[@thoughtsontravelandlife]

Yes YUL has Uber, there are signs in the airport pointing to what door Uber is at. I forget the door number but you will see it

[@smttn1]

@@thoughtsontravelandlife Oh perfect that's good to know, thank you. I know at some airports Uber isn't allowed so it can be hard to find where you're supposed to go, especially in Mexico. But you save so much money that it's worth it to walk a little further.

[@ballcake.8698]

Why do all major Canadian airports have their three letter code begin with the letter "Y" ? For example, Montreal International Airport is YUL. And, Toronto Pearson International Airport is YYZ. etc.

[@jayleon2080]

Y ?

[@thoughtsontravelandlife]

That's a question I can't answer! Maybe an airport expert will jump in the comments

[@markasdievovaikas]

Canadian airports had an original 2-letter airport code dating back to the 1930's. The 2 letters identified the weather reporting station nearest to the airport. When the IATA advised all airports needed to move to a 3-letter code, Canada made the decision to append the 'Y', meaning 'YES', that the airport has a weather station. Most but not all Canadian airports begin with 'Y'.

I thought about taking the 747 to the airport from Old Montreal at 3AM for an early morning flight, but ended up taking a cab. How safe and reliable is the 747 for getting to the airport for an early flight?

[@thoughtsontravelandlife]

To be honest I would be concerned about standing outside with my luggage at 3AM. Montreal is relatively safe but every big city has people looking to take advantage of tourists. That's just my thoughts

[@jmetravels]

@@thoughtsontravelandlife Thanks Dan. I had the same gut feeling.

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

[@bklynbubba]

Very good video but taking buses from and to airports is never easy or convenient. Please do another one as soon as the train is up and running.

[@realadrieno]

DO NOT take this bus. It gets cramped very quickly and very slow as well. The buses themselves are just city buses with a different paint scheme. Overall an extremely unenjoyable experience. F*** the stm for not improving this bus line
