Transportation
CCToMM is not providing for transportation between Montreal and the Space Agency or vice-versa. Transportation is possible in many ways, namely, by public transportation, by taxi (approximately $35 plus tip), by car rental, or privately.
The information how to get to CSA Headquarters in
Saint-Hubert (John H. Chapman Space Centre) by car can be found
here.
The access map is 1 2.
How to reach Montreal from Trudeau Airport (former Dorval
Airport).
Here you have four options:
1. Rental car. Please look at the maps of Montreal here.
2. Taxi. It will cost you about $35 Can to reach downtown Montreal. Please
don't forget to add 10% tips!
3.
L'Airbus - shuttle between Montreal Airports and Montreal Downtown. One-way
trip costs $14 Can. It will bring you to Montreal Central Bus Station.
4. Public transportation. Take city bus #204 at the airport exit in the
direction to the Dorval Station. Please check with the driver if you are taking
the right direction, because there are two bus stops of the same bus next to
each other, which will go to opposite directions from the airport! The cost of
public transportation in Montreal now is $2.75 Can. You can pay cash to the
driver. Please keep the ticket you will get.
By bus #204 you need to make just one stop (about 5 minutes) to the Dorval train
station where you need to switch to another bus #211. Here again you will have
to check with the driver if the bus goes to the right direction (here are also
two bus stops of #211 next to each other). You need the direction to the metro
station Lionel-Groulx. Show your ticket to the driver (you don't have to pay
again), but don't give it to him, you will need the ticket one more time.
In 20-25 minutes (depending on the traffic) the bus #211 will bring you to the
metro Lionel-Groulx. Enter the
metro (now you will have to give away your ticket), and take the green line
to the direction Honore-Beaugrand. Get off the metro at the station McGill.
McGill University downtown campus is two blocks away from the metro station
McGill.
Accommodation
The participants have to book the hotel themselves.
Information about Montreal hotels can be found here.
Program will be posted here later.
